Father ROACH (sic), formerly of this place, but later parish priest at Archbald, Lackawanna county. Father Roach came here in 1882, remaining until 1887, having in the meantime erected a handsome church and parochial residence. He was greatly beloved, not only by his own congregation, but by all who knew him. This town is grief-stricken at the news of his death. Father ROACH was ordained at Scranton in 1873 and was graduated at Georgetown, DC. He was forty-five years of age, and in one so young in years and rich in the love and respect of his people, the Church suffers an imparable loss. Elsewhere- John L.

One of its more notable members was Mina Schimpff (Mrs. Philip Robinson). Her husband was a brewer. After his premature death in a wagon accident at Moscow, Mina found herself in charge of a rather large family. She began lending money to friends and neighbors on the South Side, and those banking activities were the origin of the South Side Bank. My interest in the Schimpff's results from their ties to the Lohmann family. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL
