ST. PAUL'S St. Paul's parish was organized in February, 1909, from fragments of territory taken from the sacred Heart and St. Anthony's parishes.  The cornerstone of St. Paul's church edifice was laid with appropriate ceremonies July 4, 1909, and the first services were held in the building December 12, 1909.  No exact date for the dedication of the church has been definitely decided upon, but it will probably take place some time in the summer of 1910.  The parish is a flourishing one and though in its infancy numbers eighty families, with eighty-five children in the Sunday school, who are presided over by the Sisters of Mercy.  Rev. C. J. Donohoe, a native of Iowa county, Iowa, and a graduate of St. Ambrose college, Davenport, is the pastor.
