The Eighth Street Sochool and Xts Hallowed Memories and His<’ torio Neighbors, The rapid encroschment of commerceon precincts hallowed by sssociations of the e rly day. has brightened the memories of the pioneers when ““In sessions of sweet silent tho They summon up remem brance And rays of light penetrate the mists sur rounding the history of the spot upon which the uns aring hand of progress is now at work. Probably no other point i« the ety possesses such attraction for old Cath- olics and their children gs the block where stands the Eighth street school and its t things past, cie it, weather worn neighbors. Time has robbed them of their primitive glory, and the shrine around which the devout gathered for many years to offer incense to the Most High, will soon make way for the modern civilizer to weave its iron net- work on the city tront. THE BLOCKS OF GROUND recently condemned by the B. & M. rail- road company east of Fighth street in. cludes the two lots upon which the old school stands, with the exception of these two lots and Mr, Festner's property, the eround has all teen jpurchased. These latter have set a price which the railroad company consider above a just valuation, and the courts will probably be called upon to effect a settlement. As the de- molition of the old school is only a question of afew weeks, its history, inseparably connected with that of the Catholic church in Omaha wnd Nebraska, will be timely and interesting toall, Tt is fact, strange as it may seem, that the history of this venerable build- ing, which figured 8o promiuently in the early days of Omaha, has never found a place, commensurate with its meiits, in any of the records or histories of the city. TtTa a ploasure, thetefors, to giveithe pube lic the unwritten chapter of church his- tory, gathered from authentic sources, Early in the fifties, the streaws of fmmi. gration that sur ed westward from the states were closely followed by the minie. ters of God, whose zeal iv the holy calling {,‘eruded to mitigate the hardships of border e VILLAGES ON PAPER sprang up everywhere, and townsites were staked at every ri er ford ~The Indians had not relinguished their title to the land upon which Omaha stands before corner lots were mapped above the graves of their sires, The first claim was made in 1853, se.eral months before our venerable post- master appeared, hat in hand, upon the scene, hut scarce a year had past before the Indian title wus extinguished and Ne- bra-ka orgamized as a territory. The ap- pointment of Governor Burt and Secre- tary Cuming to administer the lawe, gave the town considerable prominence, and every effort was made by the citizens to show the advantages of the place in vrder to secure the capital prize, The rush for the new Mecca on the banks of the Mis- souri included men of all creeds and pr - fessions. The first minister, of whom there is any record, was Rev. Mr. Cooper, a Methodist, and THE FIRST CHURCH SERVICES were held in a log building familiarly knowh as the Old Claim Houee, on the 13¢h of August, 1854. Meantime the ter- ritorial capitol was located here and work commenced on the capitol building. In the summer of '55 the first minister of the Catholic church, Rev. Father Emmonds, visited the town, greatly to the joy of the score or more famili-a and many single members of that faith then here. He en- joys the honor of having been the pioneer priest in Omaha and the territory. He ministered to_the spiritual needs of the Catholics, and celebrated Zom THE FIRST MASS in the representative hall of the capitol. By his zeal and his encouraging words the first uwgu toward the erection of a church were taken; funds were collected, and the project had gone o far that the trenches or the foundation were duz on the north- east corner of Eighth and Howard streets, The digging of these trenches led to a great commotion. The founders of the t wn had laid out a park, extending from Jackson to Davenport streets, a block in width, for which their brilliant imagina~ tions pictured future generations singing their praises while “sporting on the green.” Most of the town at that time was in the valley sonth of Harney street. Brush, weeds and Indian mounds were thick in that vicinity, and corner stakes were difficult to find. Hewever, word went through town that ‘*THE IRISH WERE JUMPING THE PARK,” and the population turned out to & man, The Irish did not scare at the display of superior strength, but soon convinced the belligerents by finding the stakes that they were correct. Before the foundation of the church was laid Father Emmonds was suddenly called away hr Bishop Lores, of Dutuque and the building was abandoned, The park, too, disappeared soon afier, and furnished a Iulxed)mrtiun of money that built the “Herndon House,” now the U, P, head- quarters, The Catholiss, did not long remain idle, for we find that early in the spring of '56, with funds already collected, and the do- nations of recent arrivals, contracts were let for building THE FIRST CHURCH in the city and terri The two lots were donated by the Nebraska and Towa Ferry Co. The building was tobe of brick, 24x40, The contract for the stone foundation was given to two sterling rep- resentatives of warring races,—Mr, 5!""1! Ferry and Jenkinson, 'Thoy aluo’ enjoy the distinction of having laid the found- tion of the cap tol building and that of the “Western Exchange Bank,” now ocoupied by Caldwell & Hamilton, The former is a ale and hearty farmer near Forest City, Sarpy county, and father-in- Jaw of our present county tremsurer. The stone was first brought from Lutus quarry, afterwards from J. B, Mold’s and gomo from%. H. Green's. The brick work was done by the firm of Bovey & Aimatrong. alko builders of the Capitol, and the first brick w by Mr, Henry Livesey of this city, one of their employes. Thecarpenter work was dono by Wolfel & Baker of Columbus, ‘While the buildis was under way Father Scanlan of St. Joseph, Mo., arrived in town and celebrated the second mass in the parlor of the residence of A ernor Cuming, This brick hou cupies & conspicuous position on the cor- ner of 17th and Dodge streets, and can be easily distinguished from the more elabor- ate architecture of its_modern neighbors. Tt is still tenanted by Mrs, Cuming, & de- vout and Lighly respected old lady, whose zeal_and prominence in those days united the Catholios fn their efforts to build a house of worship. Shortly after the completion of the building Father Scanlan returned from St. Joseph and dedicated St. Philomena’s church in August, 1856, The building was crowded by Catholics, and many people of other oreeds which desired to appropriate- ly honor an event of such importance, WHO THEY WERE, Most of those whose names are eon- nected with the building of this church are still in our midst. To Mesars, Ferry, O'Connor and Murphy, the latter a brother of Mr, Fravk Murpby and Mrs, Cuming, is due the credit of having started the subscriptions and managing the construe. tion, e following names of families prominently connected with the opening of the old church, are recalled ,r‘ m a much larger number: Ferry, O'Connor the Murphys, C ssidys, Hickeys, Tiernans, Toners, Connollys, Kennelly-, R loys, K¢l lvys, Begloys, Stittons, Ryans, Holmexes, Gradys, Haghes, McArdles, Hart, Farmer, Swit, Burkley, McGovern, Carrliun, and the father of Mr, James Crei hton Having secured a church buildine the | Catholios naturally expected to enjoy the benefits of regular services, But they were disappointed. Father Scanlan’ re mained only. & few wecks and was fol. wed, early in the winter by Father Kavansugn from Tllincis, At the end of three months he was removed by Bishop Miogo and the church doors looked Among the visiting priests of 578, whose names can be recalled are Fathers Augustine and Tracy from Kansas, and Powers from Missouri, THE FIRST PASTOR, Tn the fall ot '8 Rev. Father Cannon, of the Benedictine order, came up_from Kanens, beariog letters from Father Augustine, superior_of the order, auth r. izing him'to take charze of the church He was installed as the first regular pas- tor of St, Philomena’s; and immediately bogan to minister to the spiritus] needs of his flock, and the temporal wants of the parish, 'The first great need was & rest dence, hut this was soon supplied by building an addition to the rear of the church, During the winter of '58-9, the riate of Kansas and Nebraska was ivided, and Rev. James O'Gorman, of the Trappist monastery at Dubuque, ap- pointed viear apostalic. e was conse- crated at 8t. Louis on the 1ith of May, 18569, and reached Omaha the latter part of the same month, This prelate had the mournful satisfaction of finding only two clergymen ia Nebraska charged with the care of aboul families #) read along the river counties. He was undecided tor a time where to locate, and inducements of the most substantial kind were offered by the citizens for an immediate decision in favor of Omaha, The offer amounted (o SIXTY-THREE FULL LOTS, But the bishop was not favorably im- pressed with the town at that time, for had he been worldly-wi:e and accepted the gift, their value to the church to.day would be incaleulable. He finally con- cluded to remain and occupied as a rosi- dence the white house on_the ~outheast corner of Harney snd Eighth wtreets, which was vacated by Thos. U'Connor for that purpose, The church was then ele- yated to the dignity of A CATHEDRAL, Tather Cannon was sucoceded as pastor by Rev_ William Kelly, wh was ordained in the church on the 25th of June, X The lutter, after years of active snrvice throughout the diocess, is assistant pastor at the pr-sent Cathedral and a mem ber of the bishop's council. He was succeeded by Father Dillon, and at_different times since then Fathers Lawrence, McMahon, Hayes, Curtis, Daxacher, Greonebaum, and Evan have been pastors of the old church, FHE FIRST CHOIR, The old temple was severely plain and unpretentious, free of ornameatation wit! in and without. A simple wooden cross, devoid of paint or gilding, surmounted the western gable, mutely proclaiming, “‘In this sign conquer,” The altar ocoupl:d the southeast corner; the opposite (orner was partitioned off and used ns the sac is- ty. A rude gallery or organ loft wasbuiit over the entrance and a choir organized shortly after the ni,hnll._ decided to per- manently locate here. The first o:ganist ‘was Mrs, Burkhard, diwughter of Vincent Burkley. The members of the choir were Mr, and s, Vincent Burkley, Mr, and Mrs, Bremer, Mrs, Schlenk (nee Mary Wareham), Mrs. John A. Creighton, Mrs, James Callaghan (nce Mary D ily), and Mrs. C. A, Leary (nee Louisa Burkley).
