There is a tradition that as early as 1838, Bishop Brutte of Vincennes, Ind., was in the neighborhood and baptized four children. The Germans, however, did not come until about three years later. The first German settlers at Johnsburg were Jacob Schmitt, Nicolaus Adams and John Bapt. Mueller, and they arrived at the place on August 2, 1841. In 1842 came Fred Schmitt, Nic Molitor, John P. Bell, Hy Thelen^ John Sohaefer, William Klein, Nic Hess, John Mueller, John Freund, H, Blamenser, Fred Laiken, Math Gerads, Stephen Baudes, Peter, Sabel, Nic Wagner, Matthew Wagner, John Friedrick, Franz Schmitt, John Adam Bloedt, Math Blek, Ph.

This is one of the oldest Catholic m his arrival, as tradition has it, in fulfillment of a vow made on the ocean, while stormy weather was encountered upon the ocean trip. This chapel was built from logs, 12x17 and was used more or less for ten years. In 1863 a chapel of brick, 16x22 was erected instead, and was enlarged to a depth of 28 feet in 1878. This chapel is still standing, and the first Mass offered in it was by the Rev. Plathe. But this chapel is not the Johnsburg church, being built also of logs, 20x28 feet in 1843 or 1844--the recollections of the old members not agreeing exactly as to the time. The first frame church was built in 1850 according to the testimony of old settlers and the diary of Bishop Van de Belde: "May 1, 1850--Visited new church (not finished, frame) of St. John the Baptist, in Miller settlement, three or four miles from McHenry town, (75x33 feet), well designed; made arrangements to have a frame church 50x35 feet, built at McHenry. A lot free, for the purpose was. given by Mr. Brown, a Protestant." "Nov. 9. 1851--Blessed church of St. John the Baptist of the German congregation, near the village of McHenry; after last Mass exhortation in English; confirmed 63 persons." On June 3, 1852, the Bishop confirmed 33 persons in this church. The building of the second church was undertaken in 1868, during the Pastorate of the Rev. Clement Venn and the churcb was finished by the late Rev. H. Mehring, who was pastor here for twenty-four years. In 1900, Feb. 19, that same church was destroyed by fire and during the Rev. Mehring's time the present beautiful church of Johnsburg was erected. Up to 1852 the Johnsburg congregation was ministered to by visiting priests. The first priest visited the settlement in the fall of 1841, by accident. He was the Rev. Fr. Fisher, sent from Vincennes to minister to the needs of Catholics in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin. Returning from the latter state, he ha<^ lost his way and was brought by Indians to Miller's Settlement, where he offered Mass next morning in Nick Frett's block house. The next priest who visited the settlement was the Rev. Plathe, who at intervals offered Mass in John Mueller's block house and once in Schmitt's chapel over the river. Another priest, Rev. Koch, remained with, the people a fortnight. The following is tltt record of resident pastors? r* Rev. John Jacomet, 1852-1853. Rev. M. Gipperich, 1853-1854. Rev. F. P.
