Navarron, Father Louis, Stonelick, Clermont County, Ohio, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, 1859 July 19

Navarron sang the vespers, the te Deum, and preached in the church of St. Louis, and then left Boston to come back home. As soon as he was back, two young Irish men came to him and requested the permission to dig a grave for one of their friends who had just died in Loveland. They worked 3 hours and finished by candle light when the coffin arrived with the wagons and buggies. He performed the ceremony at 9:00 O'Clock. The dead was from Dublin, Ireland, and had died suddenly. Loveland is 14 miles from his church. During the years he has had three other funerals from that same town. He does not blame Father J.B. O' Donoghue or anybody else, but he begs Bishop Purcell to consider the possibility of having a Catholic Cemetery in Loveland and Milford for the Irish people. :: II-4-o A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
