  REV. P. LOCHMAN, pastor of St. Joseph's Church, Oconto, is a native of Wisconsin, born in 1857 in Green Bay, in which city his parents settled in an early day. August Lochman, his father, was born in Holland, and in 1848 came to Green Bay, Wis. Here he married Sophia Bulick, a native of New York State, who came to Green Bay with her parents in 1840, and here they still reside. Twelve children were born to them, five of whom are still living, two sons and three daugh ters, namely: Mrs. Beier, of Appleton; Leonida, who is a Sister in a convent at St. Paul, Minn.; G. L., of Baltimore, Md.; Rev. P. J.; and S. Fidelia, who is a Sister in a convent at Silver Lake, Wis. During the Civil war August Lochman enlisted in Company F, Twelfth Wiscon sin Infantry, and served to the close of the struggle. P. Lochman passed his early life in Green Bay, receiving his primary educa tion in the common and private schools. He subsequently entered Calvary College, Calvary, Wis., where he took the classical course, graduating with the class of 1876, and then took a theological course in St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, Wis. In 1881 he was ordained by Bishop Kraut bauer, and was first assigned to St. Rose Congregation, at Clintonville, Wis., of which he was the first regular priest. While there he was also in charge of con gregations at eleven or twelve different places, going from place to place, the first year on horseback; and some idea of the magnitude and extent of his labors is gained from the mere statement that his circuit covered about two hundred square miles. And of all the places he visited only two had churches, Clintonville and Bear Creek. He did mission work at Antigo, Rhinelander, Pelican Lake, Eagle River, Tigerton, Aniwa, Norrie, and various other points. He built the first church at Antigo, and also established the Church at Tigerton. Father Loch man was on this work nearly three years, in 1883 being transferred from Clinton ville to Freedom, Outagamie county, where he was pastor in charge of St. Nicholas Church until November 1, 1891, the date of his removal to Oconto. While there he also had charge of the Church at the Oneida Reservation, which he estab lished. St. Joseph's Church was established from St. Peter's Church, of Oconto, in 1870, the first church, a good frame building, being erected in that year. The parish has since continued to grow and prosper, and during the quarter of a cen tury of its existence has had but two priests, Father Schwebach - who served the congregation from 1868 - ~and Father Lochman. There are now about 400 families connected with the Church, and the property is valued at about $30,000. In 1874 a good two-story school building was put up, which in 1892 was remodeled at an outlay of $3,000, another story be ing also added. The priest's house, which was erected in 1872, was moved and remodeled in 1895 at an expense of $1,000, and during the same year the church was also moved and refitted at a cost of $15,000. The parochial school has an attendance of about 350 children. Father Lochman is a member of Oconto Lodge, Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, and of St. William's Court No. 365, Catholic Order of Foresters. He is also spiritual director in the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
