First Parishioners
St. Matthew's Catholic Church
New Cassel/Campbellsport
Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
Ten years ago I was fortunate enough
to have access to the original church records of St. Matthew's Catholic
Church in Campbellsport, WI, while I started to compile a church history.
I found that when the congregation first organized, they wrote down a list
of actual members, which survives to this day. The list is undated, but
appears to have been taken in 1868 or 1869, at about the time that thei
first church building was completed. The listing appears to be in the handwriting
of Andrew Dieringer, who liked to use a turquoise ink pen for the parish
record book. (Jonathan Haessly used lavender!) The list contains 72 names
of the heads of the households, including several widows.
At some point about 1876, the first parish listing was updated.
New names were added and some of the original names were dropped from the
list. Of the 72 original members, 35 had either died or moved away during
the first 7 years. The 1876 listing totals 80 names. While the 7 year span
shows only an increase in 8 families, a closer comparison of names reveals
that the parish had a 45 percent turnover.
Names of the members of St. Mathews Congregation in New Cassel,
Town of Auburn, Fond du Lac Wis.
