Relatives Donate for New Church

Pat Conlon Walter sent a copy of the 1912 Silver Jubilee booklet for Rev Alph. Broens from St Joseph's Church in Sturgeon Bay.  It included an accounting of the building fund for the New Church Building - the current church which had it's first official service on November 28,1909. Below is the summary costs and expenses and total received.  You will be pleased to know that John Conlon donated $31.  Jenny Propsom Conlon's siblings donated as follows: Matt Propsom $35; Tillie Propsom (church organist) $50; Elizabeth Propsom (Rev Broens' housekeeper) $32 and Margaret Propsom $10. Their mother, Katherine Kartheiser Propsom (who only had one arm) donated $73.  Of course this was all over 100 years ago.
