Scope and Contents He had at first thought of sending a letter by Mrs. Perret but was prevented. He supposes she told Odin that Cuny has received everywhere a welcome which leaves nothing to be desired. He had difficulty in setting up regular services for Patterson, Franklin, and Charenton but now he has a horse and buggy and can attend to the most pressing needs of his parishioners. He will give an exact account later when he sees Odin. Godefroy Prévot, son of Norbert Prévot and Ceralie Longe; and Matilda...

Scope and Contents When F. Sigur approached him about his plan to marry his sister-in-law Cuny thought it was the second sister and not the third that he proposed to marry. Eleanore Perret is the sister of the two previous wives. He has six children by the first and three by the second and he wishes to marry the third because being their aunt she would care for them better than a stranger. Cuny was to publish the banns for the first time today but he received Father Raymond's letter in time to countermand the...

The couple promises to raise their children as Catholics. Because everything was set for the marriage, Cuny married them then and...

There are 250 parishioners at Pattersonville and about 300 at Franklin . A pastor is very useful there but could not live on the little he could collect. In a year at Pattersonville he has had 30 piastres and 60 at Franklin, not enough to pay the two most capable men, Mr. Hefflé at Franklin and Edward Broussard at Pattersonville. Services are regularly...

The collection amounted to only $10. At present he is busy cleaning up and restoring the cemetery at Charenton, and making a subscription to...
