    • Possibly was at ;
      The Diocese of Fort Wayne, 1857--September 22--1907, A Book of Historical Reference, 1669-1907. By the Rt. Rev. H. J. Alerding. Fort Wayne: The Archer Printing Co. 1907.LOGANSPORT.
      ST. VINCENT DE PAUL'S CHURCH. 1838.
      "The history of St. Vincent de Paul's Congregation begins about the year 1838. The members, at that time, were made up mainly of laborers engaged in the construction of the Wabash and Erie canal, through this section of the country. Previous to that time, the few Catholics at Logansport were attended by missionaries, who travelled up and down the Wabash Valley, in their missionary work.
      In the year 1838, the Rev. John Claude Francois made the first effort to establish a permanent place of worship. He purchased five acres of land reserved to the children of Joseph Barrow, by a treaty with the Pottawottamies; later, making still other purchases, until a total of over twenty-three acres had been secured. On this land he erected a story-and-a-half pastoral residence. The congregation increasing rapidly, Father Francois found it necessary to secure better accommodations, and within a year erected a sufficiently large church, on Duret street, which supplied the needs of the congregation for several years, from 1842 to 1861.
      In the year 1860, lots 151, 152, 153 and 154, in John Tipton's addition to the town of Logansport, fronting on Spencer street, were secured, together with pieces of ground between these lots and the Wabash and Erie canal. Upon this site, the present St. Vincent de Paul's Church was begun, by the laying of the cornerstone in 1860, and its completion and dedication in 1863. At this time, the Rev. George A. Hamilton was the pastor. The church is in the Gothic style of architecture. In the year 1888, Father Campion built an addition to the church, at a cost of $11,500. The twenty-three acres mentioned above, on which the original church was located, were sold during the pastorate of Father Hamilton. The interior of St. Vincent de Paul's Church is beautifully finished. The present pastor, Rev. P. J. Crosson, has made many improvements including the frescoing of the interior of the church, for $1,200; the placing of opulescent stained glass in the windows, for $2,000, a steam heating plant, for $2,400. The seating capacity of the church is 700. The church property has a debt on it of $6,200.
      The parochial schools were taught by lay teachers, until the year 1865, when the Sisters of the Holy Cross took charge. As early as 1850, though for a short time only, school was taught in the old stone church on Canal street. From 1863, the second parochial school was opened in the Cullom building, on Second and Market streets, where the Sisters of the Holy Cross began to have charge. The present large, three-story brick school was erected in 1868, at a cost of $18,000. The study halls and class rooms are well furnished. The third story of the building is a large hall, giving ample room for school and other entertainments. This school possesses a bell of historical interest. It was purchased by Father de St. Palais, afterwards Bishop of Vincennes, on occasion of his visit to Paris, in 1845. It was cast under his special supervision, and was presented by him to St. Vincent de Paul's Church.
      What is now Holy Angels' Academy, was formerly known as the Walker property, and was secured in the year 1871, for a consideration of $18,000. Many alterations were made in the building, to make it answer the purpose for which it is now used. The Sisters of the Holy Cross also reside in this building and from here attend the boys' school on the church grounds. A course of eight grades is given the boys and a full high school course the girls; although if desired the boys are also taught bookkeeping, typewriting and stenography. Ten Sisters have charge of 250 children.
      The pastoral residence is a two-story brick building, adjacent to the church, on the east side. It was erected in the year 1879, during the pastorate of Father Walters, at a cost of $5,000. The small, frame house, which formerly stood here, was sold and removed to Thirteenth street. Additions to the house, with repairs and improvements, including a hot water plant, done since Father Crosson's advent, amount to $4,700.
      The following is an authentic list of the pastors of St. Vincent's Church: Rev. John Claude Francois, from 1838 to 1841; Rev. August Mary Martin, from 1841 to 1844; Rev. Michael J. Clark, in 1844; Rev. Maurice de St. Palais, in 1845; Rev. Francis Fischer, from 1846 to 1848; Rev. P. Murphy, from 1848 to 1850; Rev. Patrick McDermott, in 1850; Rev. P. O'Connell, in 1852; REv. Francis Anthony Carius, from 1852 to 1855; Rev. William Doyle, from 1855 to 1857; Rev. Charles Zucker, from May 1857 to August 1859; Rev. George A. Hamilton, from August 1859 to January 1864; Rev. Bernard Joseph Force, from January 1864 to April 1868; Rev. Matthew E. Campion, from April 1868 to January 1869; Rev. Jacob Mayer, from January 1869 to July 1871; Rev.
