Borgess, Caspar H., Bishop of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1876 September 25

Purcell will observe from the enclosed that the rebels of Cheboygan Michigan are about to trouble Purcell again. Borgess sent Father Theophilus Anciaux first and then Father Michael O'Donovan to inquire into the affairs and the civil court case of Father C.L. DeCeuninck, but the rebels failed to prove their charges. The enclosed petition induced Borgess to authorize DeCeuninck to demand the keys of the church, but the rebels barred the church the next day again. He has moved DeCeuninck across the river to Luddington, Michigan . The investigation cost him $100 and he refused to pay more. No enclosures :: II-5-f A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
