He also leaves ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mr. Linhart was a very religious Catholic, a member of several church societies, and he was forever performing some good deed for churches of all denominations and creeds. Eighteen priests were present at the funeral mass Thursday morning, September 2, which was read at 9 a. m before St. Patrick's, the former being in Chicago in 1833. At this time gravel roads were unknown, priests were seldom seen in this region and churches were even harder to find. Whenever a missionary priest did arrive, usually Rev. M. de St. Palais, who became the first pastor in 1840, Michael Sutton would perform a regular "Paul Revere" act, spreading the good news that Holy Mass would be read in either the Michael Sutton, George Frisby, James Wall or Mary Behan home. Since the German immigrants in Johnsburg were unable to speak English, he made them understand by making the sign of the cross or ringing a bell. As the congregatiorK increased, James Gibbs donated the land whereon the first church was built in 1853. In 1872 it was remodeled and enlarged under the pastorate of Rev. Peter Birch. This served until 1883 when a church seating about three hundred people was built.

Father McEvoy died of pneumonia on February 1, 1926, and was buried in St. Patrick's cemetery, adjoining the church, which stands a monument to his memory. - Rev. Claude Freund then took ov^r the parish until the appointment <ft the present pastor, Rey. William A. O'Rourke. The parish has prospered consistently since his coming, both spiritually and materially. In addition it has increased considerably in j the humber of its members, which has jbeen in some measure because of the , unusual number of converts which Father O'Rourke has brought into the church. Among his achievements, one finds ! a substantial reduction of the parish debt, the acquisition of a new organ in 1931, the decoration of the church interior in 1937, and the'building of St. Mary-St. Patrick school in 1937 in conjunction with St. Mary's parish of McHenry. And so, Father O'Rourke and his parishioners urge their friends of all creeds to join with them, on this day of rejoicing and to feel welcome to attend any of the events they may car* to next Sunday, September 22.
