E AND S "HISTORY OF ADAMS CO 1900 say a little frame Catlolic church was built in Manchester, 1889. And it says that was the only Catholic church ever in ADAMS CO. Oh So,Maysville,Ripley,and Portsmouth for Catholics. I was raised with an older gentleman ,whose family lived in this neighborhood on horse and buggy days 10 miles from the nearest Catholic church at NEW RICHMOND,Oh. And he told of his dad's fmily only going to church Easter and Christmas. His son,today,is a Catholic Deacon. BROWN CO,Oh was more CATHOLIC. A big,early Catholic settlement in the ST MARTINS-FAYETTEVILLE area. A Catholic church in the mid-county GERMAN settlement of ARNHEIM. And RIPLEY's Catholic church. The St Martin church was,in part, a real estate sales idea-to get LOWLAND European Catholics to settle,and drain the nearby white oak swamps.
