It is the work of Cincinnati architect Edward J. Schulte, who designed more than 88 churches in a career that spanned from 1921 to 1967. His work reflects the changing trends in art and architecture during that period; he assisted in designing St. Meinrad Abbey, much different than his later works. </p><p>Photos from the interior: <a href="https://www.mphmshelby.org/st-joseph">Most Pure Heart of Mary | Catholic Church | Shelby, Ohio (mphmshelby.org)</a></p>Kevin Hammerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16947339190946199446noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142841714418512823.post-18564681197136382582022-10-01T14:16:00.001-05:002022-10-01T14:16:17.826-05:00Gigapan Image of Rosary Cathedral<p> Click on link below:</p><p><a href="http://www.gigapan.com/embeds/0TJ4_nwNdrQ">http://www.gigapan.com/embeds/0TJ4_nwNdrQ</a></p>Kevin Hammerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16947339190946199446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142841714418512823.post-64403681891012166322022-07-27T18:30:00.002-05:002022-07-27T18:30:51.064-05:00Transfiguration of the Lord, Upper Sandusky<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

missing unpublished manuscript. The last possible known connection with it was
Fr Frederick A.Houck who was long associated with your church in Toledo. He
died in Toledo in 1954.<br />
<br />
Fr Fred and his brother, Msgr. George F Houck, also an Ohio priest grew up in
Tiffin, Seneca Co., Ohio in a mainly German/Austrian community in the mid
1800s. Quite a few of the young Catholic men there joined the priesthood and
one was their friend, Fr Anthony S Siebenfeurcher who became parish priest in
Kenton, Ohio. They all remained life-long friends. </p><p class="MsoNormal">One of his friend's was an
Irish born priest, Fr Constantine M Scollen who had spent many years living and
working among the native people of Alberta, Canada, mainly the Blackfoot,
before moving down into the USA where he continued to work amongst the native
peoples before ending his days in Ohio. He died in Dayton in 1902 and is buried
in the Calvary cemetery, there. I created a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_Scollen">Wikipedia page</a> of his extraordinary
life.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
<br />
On his death, his personal papers journals and the unpublished manuscript were
passed into the care of Fr Siebenfeurcher. He died in 1911, also in Dayton and
it is thought that his papers including those of Father Scollen were passed on
to George Houck and then again to Frederick.<br />
<br />
I live in County Durham, in North East England which is where Fr Scollen was
raised and I am surrounded by many of his family. I am hoping that the papers
have survived and are lying on a dusty shelf somewhere in Toledo or Ohio just
waiting to be rediscovered. It would be lovely to successfully conclude my
search because I am now no spring chicken.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading this and for any potential assistance.<br />
Best wishes<br />
Ian Fletcher<br />
