Chapter 20 cont. Page 584 ST. ALPHONSUS St. Alphonsus church and parish were organized in 1907 by Fathers of the Redemptorist Order.  The parochial territory is situated in the southwest section of the city, and was formerly part of St. Mary's and St. Joseph's parishes.  This territory having developed into a great manufacturing district, it was deemed necessary to provide for the growing Catholic population there.  The church edifice is a brick building of imposing appearance.  Rev. A. Guendling is the pastor and has for his assistant Rev. O'Neal Byrne.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa May 17, 1870 Bold Burglary On Friday after about 5 o'clock, during the absence of the family, the private residence of Wm. Nesbit, the photographers, situated on 6th and Ripley, was entered by expert burglars and ransacked from roof to basement. Bureaus and drawers were opened and ransacked and the furniture thrown about. A small sum of money, the hoardings of a deceased son of Mr. Nesbitt' s, and which are preserved in memory of the child, escaped their reach. Nothing was taken except an overcoat and a large pie, showing that the marauders were both cold and hungry, but the condition of the house plainly showed that an extended search after valuables had been instituted. Threatening Case. J.B. Watson, a farmer living in Lincoln township has brought suit before Justice Dowd against J. Foster for seduction of his daughter. A few weeks ago, she gave birth to a child. Foster was sent to jail in default of bail. May 18, 1870 Police Court. Claus Offt was arrested for disturbing the public peace and quiet of the city by unearthly yells and screeches. He was fined $3 and costs, amounting to $22, and as he didn't think it was a fair shake, gave notice of appeal. Jos. Bally was found asleep, snoozing softly as an infant, for which he was fined $1 and costs and repaired to Schnitger's hotel. District Court. Grand Jury closed its labors last Saturday and adjourned and bill was found against W.P. Humphrey for resisting a public officer and also for assaulting said officer. Also against same and C.F. Spence for nuisance and also bill against J.H. Watson for seduction. [previous article had J.B. Watson] May 20, 1870 Police Court. Several cases before Justice Peters this afternoon. E. Burr for using abusive language was twice hauled up and fined $3 and costs. Chas Voght for being drunk, sent to jail. Louis Bulstooff disturbed the private peace, $3 worth and intoxicated himself $3 more, also costs. May 23, 1870 The Murder Market. After a few days of depression, the murder market has again become moderately active and closed firm yesterday. Outright killings were not in much demand, but the trade in lively shooting was good. Quotations remain unchanged. Incendiary Failed. An attempt was made last night to fire the residence of Mr. Rommelsburg on Harrison Street between 6th and 7th. Mrs. R. being ill, her husband was up watching with her, and a window in the back part of the house was left open. About two o'clock he heard a man come through the alley, light a match on side of house, go to the window apparently throw it in. The villain didn't get the chance however for a faithful pointer dog, who was sleeping in that room, made a jump for him and came very near "making fast". The rascal disappeared in haste. Police Court. P. Hago, for fullness of liquor, was fined $4.00 and costs. Mollie Hill, intoxicated, $1 and costs. J. Wilke and wife were arrested and brought before Justice Peters for cruel treatment toward their daughter, who is about 39 years old. They were put under $400 bonds to appear at next term of District Court. Chas. Baker and Ben Allbright were brought up before Justice Peters charged with robbing a man on Saturday. The testimony shows that the twain came up on the Dubuque a few days ago, met an old friend day before yesterday, and while he was embracing one of the two, that person relieved him of his pocket book and handed it to his partner. They were detected and brought into court today. Justice Peters held them to bond in the sum of $800 to appear at the next term of District Court. They could not find bail and were sent up.

Chapter 20 cont. Page 584 HOLY FAMILY This is one of the later established churches of the city.  The parish was started in 1897.  At first a school building was erected and finished in 1898, where services were held until 1899.  In May, of the latter year, the basement of the church, which had been finished, was used for religious services.  The organization started out with twenty families, but now has approximately 100 families and is prosperous.  Father L. J. Enright was the first pastor and is also the present one.

Chapter 20 cont. Page 584 ST. JOSEPH'S In 1855, there being a large German population in the west end of town, which was quite remote from the other Catholic churches, a German Catholic church was decided upon and judge C. G. R. Mitchell donated grounds for the proposed church and the stone building still standing, which is now used as a school, was erected.  It was quite a pretentious building in its day.  The church was dedicated May 25, 1856; Father Flammang conducted the services in the German language.  He was succeeded in 1857 by Rev. John Baumgarten.  He stayed but one year and then the church was left without a pastor for six months.  Rt. Rev. Mgr. Niermann became pastor April 2, 1859.  On September 16, 1883, under the patronage of St. Joseph's, the new church was dedicated.  In 1900 an assistant, Rev. Frank Kottenstette, became assistant to the aged pastor and remained two years.  He was succeeded by Revs. Albers P. Stahl, P. Herbst, J. Snyder, and B. Kueppenbender.  In 1905, Rev. N. J. Peiffer, immediately after his ordination, came to the charge and is still there.

Chapter 20 cont. Page 583 ST. MARY'S St. Mary's church and parish trace their origin back to the year of 1867.  The corner stone of the church edifice was laid July 21st of that year by Bishop Hennessy of Dubuque.  The building, since remodeled, stands on the original site at the corner of Sixth and Fillmore streets.  Father Pelamourgues was its first pastor.  He was succeeded by Rev. Maurice Flavin, May 10, 1868, who continued there until July, 1871.  Father Flavin died at Los Angeles, June 10, 1872, where he had gone for the benefit of his health.  Rev. Michael Flavin then took up the work at St. Mary's and remained there thirteen years.  He was followed by Rt. Rev. Mgr. Ryan who came from St. Marguerite's cathedral, of this city.  He is still the pastor.  In his manifold duties he is aided by an assistant.  In 1909, Father Ryan was invested with the title of Monsignior at a public ceremonial of great beauty and impressiveness.

The Daily Gazette Davenport, Iowa Alfred Sanders, Editor Monday Morning August 25, 1862 Another Company.-Messrs. John W. Van Hosen and B. Frank Smith have received authority to raise a company for O'Connor's regiment, and have all the week to recruit in.-We believe they can do it. There is the material, and they are the right kind of men to bring it out. Sudden Death.-We regret to hear of the death of the estimable wife of our fellow-citizen, Joshua D. Patton, Esq. She died at their residence, seven miles from this city, on Saturday morning, after a brief illness of only one or two days. The body was brought in last evening. The funeral will take place at 1 o'clock to-day (Sunday), from Christian Chapel. Capt. J. B. Leake and His Company.-Our worthy State Senator, Joseph B. Leake, Esq., is now a Captain in the 20th Regiment. The Company which he took with him last Monday morning elected him Captain, with Mr. Charles Altman for 1st Lieutenant. Mr. Mark Matthews, also of Princeton, is the Orderly Sergeant. This Company, with such officers, will be worthy representatives of Scott county in the armies of the Republic. Bold Burglary.-The office of Alling & Williams' lumber yard, corner of Fourth and Harrison streets, was opened on Friday evening by some unknown thieves, who pried open the door on Harrison street. They pulled the safe out into the middle of the floor, turned it down on its back, and filled the lock with powder, and then turned the safe over on its side and applied a slow match. The explosion sounded like the firing of the cannon, and was heard throughout the neighborhood, though the cause was of course unknown. The lock of the safe was torn to atoms, and the door badly shattered around the room.-The burglars, however, had their labor for nothing. There was no money in the safe; but they seem to have scanned the other valuables very closely having taken the notes out singly and examined them. Having got through with their labors, the thieves made their way out unobserved. They were traced along Fourth street by the plaster that adhered to their shoes. The burglars have not y! et been caught, but it is thought they are known, and will be ferreted out. A number of attempts at house-breaking have occurred lately in town, and the existence of a gang of the fraternity engaged in that business is strongly suspected. The house of Mr. Frahm, on Fourth street, opposite the Court House, was entered a few nights ago, though nothing was taken except a few birds. Other instances are reported of late, and our authorities, we hope, will be on the look out for the perpetrators, and especially keep an eye on some vagrant gentry about town, who don't do anything apparently for a living. A vagrant ordinance wouldn't come amiss with such fellows, compelling them to give some account of themselves.-Other cities have such a law, and it works well. Mournful Accident.-Sudden Death of an Old Citizen.-Saturday, as Mr. Patrick Courtenay, of this city was driving to LeClaire, when in Spencer's woods, going down the big hill, he came to a place where the rain several weeks ago had washed away a part of the road, leaving only a very narrow place for the passing of teams. In driving across this narrow space, wagon and team were upset, falling down the bank, about ten or fifteen feet perpendicular. Mr. Courtenay immediately went to work to get his team out, assisted by Dr. Treat, of LeClaire, and others. In doing this, while Mr. Courtenay was standing with his back to the bank, which projected at the top, the earth above gave way, falling on him, and killing him instantly. Dr. Treat was also seriously injured; having three of his ribs broken, and shoulder hurt. Mr. Courtenay's body was brought home, and Coroner Tomson held an inquest on Saturday evening. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with these facts. Mr. Courtenay! had been a citizen of this place for many years. In 1853 he was Marshal of the city. Below we give the verdict of the jury: State of Iowa, Scott County, Ss: An Inquisition, holden at Davenport, in Scott county, on the 23rd day of August, A. D., 1862, before J. J. Tomson, coroner of said county, upon the body of Patrick Courtney, then lying dead by these jurors, whose names are hereunto subscribed. The said jurors, whose names are hereunto subscribed. The said jurors, upon their oath, do say that the said Patrick Courtney came to his death, about 12 o'clock m., August 28d, 1862, by the falling of a bank of earth upon the body of the deceased, in the township of LeClaire, while he was on the main traveled river road form Davenport to LeClaire . The jurors do further find that the road was in an impassable condition, and had been for weeks, in consequence of which the deceased was killed , while trying to extricate his horses from this impassable condition of the road. [Signed] Patrick McKinney, Wm. F. Orendorff, Daniel Killion.~~~ Died. Near Davenport, at 4 o'clock Saturday morning, after a brief illness, Mrs. Mary Jane, wife of J. D. Patton, Esq. Aged 34 years and 8 months. Funeral services at Christian Chapel to-day (Sunday) at 1 o'clock p.m. At LeClaire, Aug. 18th, Nellie Burnham, daughter of Geo. H. and Carried E. Kinney, aged 4 1/2 months. Alone, through that long sad night we listened For the sound of the pale boatman's oar; Approaching, we saw his sails glisten On his way from that mist-curtained shore. At dawn, that pale boatman receded, The sound of his oar died away. Our Nellie he bore to the river, palm-shaded, For angels to carry, with angels to stay.~~~~ Notice to Recruiting Officers and Claimants. Disbursing Office, Davenport, Iowa, Aug. 21, 1862 1. In future, recruiting officers defraying expenses for recruiting, will be required to take memorandum receipts and file them with their accounts as sub-vouchers. 2. No claims will be paid for expenses incurred in raising regiments until they are mustered into service.~~H. B.

Chapter 20 cont. BISHOP DAVIS James Davis, bishop of Davenport, was the third permanent pastor of Sacred Heart cathedral.  He was born in November, 1852, near the village of Knocktopher, County Kilkenny, Ireland.  He received his first religious instruction under the direction of Very Rev. P. Fogarty, P. P., at Donemargin.  His boyhood days were spent in the college of St. Carmel at Knocktopher, where he began his studies for the church under the direction of the Carmelite fathers.  After studying the classics there he entered St. Patrick's Ecclesiastical college, Carlow, where he completed his theological course and was ordained by Right Rev. Bishop Walsh of the diocese of Kildare and Loughlin, on  June 21, 1878.  Shortly after his ordination he left his native land to enter on his duties in the diocese of Dubuque, into which he had been adopted by the then Bishop Hennessy.  After a short stay at St. Raphael's cathedral, he was assigned to St. Peter's congregation, Windham, Johnson county, Iowa.  About two years later he was sent to St. Mary's parish, Oxford.  It was during his four years' pastorate at Oxford that the see of Davenport was erected, Oxford being in the new diocese; and also that the death of Bishop McMullen occurred.  In 1884 Bishop Cosgrove assigned Father Davis to St. Michael's congregation at Holbrook.  In this large and extensive parish Father Davis labored until November, 1889, when he was called by Bishop Cosgrove to be rector of St. Marguerite's cathedral, to succeed Very Rev. A. Trevis, resigned.  He arrived in Davenport on November 12th and was introduced by Bishop Cosgrove to the congregation on November 17th as the successor of Father Trevis. Father Davis at once set to work on the completion of the cathedral project, and when that great work was accomplished others followed.  The $100,000 structure was completed and dedicated on November 15, 1891 and under his direction the parish grew and prospered wonderfully.  He remained in charge even after he was made coadjutor bishop and the Sacred Heart Cathedral parish, as it has been known since the building of the new cathedral, is today among the greatest parishes in the whole state of Iowa.  His high merit and worth finally received the climax of appreciation, for on October 19, 1905, upon the recommendation of the archbishop and bishops of the province of Dubuque, and the priests of the Davenport diocese, Vicar General Davis was raised by the Holy See to the rank of Bishop of Milopotamus and Coadjutor Bishop of Davenport.  His consecration on November 30, 1905, was the occasion of a notable gathering of prelates and clergy, and was an occasion of great rejoicing among the cathedral parishioners, the priests and the people of Davenport and the diocese in general; and tokens of esteem from the Knights of Columbus, the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the several church societies.  The occasion of his return from his visit to Rome in the fall of that year was marked by another warm greeting from his congregation.

August 1st, were sick---288 Up to date there have been discharged from service---13 No. returned to duty---68 No. of deaths---5-86 Total of remaining in hospital of Iowa men-152. The hospital is not fortunately located-poor water-no shades-heavy clay soil, and on a south slope, near to low lands. Quite a number of cases of scurvy-need vegetables very much, a supply of which cannot be got at any price here. Good butter is very much needed. Sickness is evidently on the increase, and is more fatal. Friends at home should see that these veterans of many battles are not left to die for want of articles so plenty and cheap with them.

The Daily Gazette Davenport, Iowa Friday Morning August 15, 1862 Trip to DeWitt.-It is so seldom the editor of a daily paper gets the opportunity to shake the cobwebs from his brain, by throwing off the restraint of the tripod and mingling freely with the people away from home for the space of an entire day, that when such an event does occur he likes to chronicle it for the instruction, if not the admonition of his readers. That we made a trip to DeWitt in Clinton county, some twenty miles and returned home again all in one day, is very evident to ourselves, and we hope to make it equally plain to our readers before we get through. By dint of remarkable self-denial, aggravated by the fact that we had set up with a member of the State Auditing Board, assisting him to disentangle red tape, until 12 o'clock the preceding night, we managed to get out of bed a few minutes before 5 o'clock, a feat we do not often accomplish. In about thirty-three minutes and as many seconds we had bolted our victuals, and seated behind one of Thompson's fine b! uggy horses, were rattling along over the macadam at a 2:40 rate. Emerging on the prairie we saw the sun rising in the direction of up the river. Rather an unusual sight for us and on close observation could not perceive that he looked any the less refreshed for getting up so early in the morning, but if anything brighter than when with red, puffy face he hid behind some clouds the previous evening; attributed altogether to the fact however that he went to bed so early in the evening and didn't have to sit up with the Auditing Committee. The morning was delightful and so was the road and so were the surroundings, and pretty soon we began to feel so ourself. We looked over the many thousand of acres around us, dotted here and there with the residences of the sturdy farmers and fenced into fields, checkering the landscape with their productions, and thought as we traveled on, that with the indorsement of so much real wealth, Davenport like Richelieu would never know such word as "fail," but under every circumstance must progress. Nature never made a country so beautiful and productive, bearing in its bosom the elements of so much real wealth and planted a sight so lovely and in all respects so favorable for a city as that which Davenport occupies, in vain. Hard time may fall with heavy hand upon us, fires may sweep away some of our most useful establishments and war call off some of our best citizens, yet our city will survive and emerge from the ordeal the better prepared to enter upon the great contest for ! place and position among the prominent cities of the West. Reaching DeWitt within three hours from the time we left our own door, we stopped at the Nolton House, an excellent hotel kept by Mr. Clark, a gentleman who leaves no effort untried to render comfortable and perfectly since we had last seen it, and now presents all the evidences of prosperity. The completion of the railroad to that point has given it an impetus that will help it to compete for position among the interior cities of our State. At 2 o'clock the Republican Convention met at the Court House. The court room was crowded. A more intelligent body of men, we presume, never met there, certainly none more harmonious. Although the contest was between three candidates, from as many counties, and wire-pulling was the order of the day, yet mingling freely among all, not one unkind word did we hear uttered. And when at last the result was announced and the question was put whether the nomination should be unanimous, one general acclaim was the response. Mr. Price being called upon, took the stand and for the space of half an hour spoke in his usual felicitous style. He was followed by his friends, so recently his opponents, Messrs. Butler and Smyth, who congratulated him upon his success, and while each wished himself might have been the fortunate man, yet gracefully submitted to the decision of the majority and avowed his determination to work until the day of election to place the nominee in a position where ! he could and would do so much for the interests of this district of Iowa. Many of the delegates remained after the adjournment to attend the Judicial Convention, to be held the following day. Staying to tea we left for home and after a delightful ride of about two hours, entirely missed the refracted rays of the friend we saw get out of his bed in the East so early in the morning, and the balance of the way plodded on in darkness, just ahead of a big storm, which broke in wind and rain-soon after we had gotten safely sheltered under the roof that man is wont to call his own. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IAGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

Good question, Sandra. But, according to the book: Postmarked Iowa A List of Discontinued and Renamed Post Offices By Guy Reed Ramsey J. B. Publishing Company Crete, Nebraska, 1976 it is Blue Creek. I don't know. I took it as an actual creek. I don't want to change it unless we know for sure there is no Blue Creek and it's a mistake. I'll check further. What do you think? Is there a Blue Creek?

Hello list, Sorry about the blank. "It" did it to me again. I am inquiring of the many people on the list researching the surname WIESE. I have just discovered that my husband's Gr-Gr Grandmother, Catherina "Trin" or "Trina" MUHS,THIELVOLDT moved to Walcott after the death of her first husband, Henry THIELVOLDT, when she was 18. She married Hans WIESE sometime between 1860 & 1863 when her daughter Laura WIESE was born. Another daughter, Amelia, was b. in 1865. Hans & Trina were b. in 1842. (from the 1870 cs) I believe that Jochim or "James" MUHS of Walcott was her brother because her son, Henry THIELVOLDT age 11, lived with him in 1860 after his father's death. (1870 cs) I would like to here from anyone who might know of this family. Jo Westendorf Banks

Trevis, whom he also appointed as vicar general.  Father Trevis, who was the first permanent pastor of St. Marguerite's parish, and who thus again became pastor, was ordained in 1850.  He was appointed president of the diocesan seminary and assistant at the cathedral, Dubuque.  It was during his presidency that the bishop received most of his classical education.  When in 1854 the church square was donated for church purposes by Antoine and Marguerite LeClaire, Bishop Loras sent Father Trevis to organize the new parish.  Giving up his charge on account of throat trouble, he went to the old world, 1861, remaining there about a score of years, when he returned to Davenport, where he was stationed as chaplain at Mercy hospital.  He remained as pastor of St. Marguerite's a second time for about five years, resigning on account of his advanced age in 1889, when the great work of building a new cathedral was inaugurated by Bishop Cosgrove, the work requiring a younger and more active pastor.  Father Trevis continued to exercise the functions of his office as vicar general until his death, which occurred at Mercy hospital, November 3, 1895, having passed his sevetieth year, he having been born in a village of the Cevennes mountains, called St. Privat du Dragon, in the Chateau of Alleret, July 31, 1825.  He was educated in the seminary of LePuy, France, and it was while on a visit there that Bishop Loras adopted him for the diocese of Dubuque.  On August 15, 1850, Father Travis was ordained in Dubuque and when Bishop Loras started the seminary called Mt. St. Bernard, he put Father Trevis in charge, where he remained until 1856, when he was sent to take charge of St. Marguerite's parish, Davenport.
