Beerhorst, Father Henry, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1867 April 17
Scope and Contents
From the settlement, Ada, a Protestant, Robert Heare, intends to marry Catholic Bridget Sullivan. He was married in England where his wife died 3 months ago, and has 3 children. He has written testimonial of his wife's death, and a Catholic gentleman is willing to testify to this death by an oath; Beerhorst cannot ascertain Heare's baptism; he asks for necessary dispensation. Father Charles Wapelhorst will be here for Easter day; also a young priest, a class-mate, who will say his first Mass in his church on next Thursday. Should he stay over Sunday, Beerhorst asks permission to go with Wapelhorst to Milwaukee to stay over Sunday. He sends the deed of the cemetery for Big Rapids, where he hopes a church will be built very soon. :: III-2-l A.D.S. 2pp. 12mo.
