Scope and Contents

After repeated searches he at last found the photographs of Fathers McElherne P. T. McElhearne and Brickwette Augustus Brickwedde. McElherne was Vicar-general under Bishop Vandevelde and administrator of Illinois when it comprised one diocese and is identified with the early history of the Church in Illinois. Brickwette was the first German vicar-general of Illinois; he built the great German church in Quincy and later went to southern Illinois. Larmer sees where William J. Onahan gets ribbons from Rome for his labors at the Catholic Council. As far as Lamer could see Edwards did the work while Onahan gets the ribbons. :: XI-1-l A.L.S. 2pp.
