Fort Wayne: The Archer Printing Co. 1907.HUNTINGTON. SS. PETER AND PAUL'S CHURCH. 1845 Catholicity, in Huntington county, dates back to the year 1838, when about a half dozen families, chiefly Irish laborers, were employed in the construction of the canal. The Rev. Julian Benoit was the first offerer of the holy Sacrifice of the Mass, on August 15, 1843, in the residence of the Roche family. After Father Benoit, Rev. E. M. Faller and Rev. John Ryan attended Huntington, as a station, regularly every three months. During this time, Francis Lafontaine, chief of the Miami Indian tribe, and his father-in-law, Rushville, donated a piece of ground, on which a small log church was erected. The chief Lafontaine died April 13, 1847, and was buried near the log church. The first resident priest at Huntington was Rev. Dr. A. Schippert, native of the kingdom of Wuertemberg, and a convert from lutheranism. He lived in a rented cottage on Cherry street. He procured and laid out a new cemetery at the edge of town. His pastorate continued from March 1857 till August 1858, when on account of ill health he retired to Innsbruck, Tyrol. His immeditate successor was Rev. Frederick Fuchs, a native of Munster, Westphalia. He came to Huntinton from Cincinnati. He immediately built a frame addition to the log church, and opened a school. He also erected a priest's house of brick, remarking that at last the "fox had found shelter." The number of families at this time was one hundred German and thirty-nine Irish and French families. After five years of successful labor, considerations of health brought about his removal to Klaasville. Rev. Martin Kink was pastor, from August to December 1863. Bavaria was his native country, to which he returned and where he died. In December, 1863, Rev. Jacob Mayer was appointed pastor. It was he who built the present church, a Gothic structure of brick, 142x58 feet. The cost of the building amounted to about $30,000, of which he paid ll but $9,564. After five years of indefatigable labors, he was transferred to Logansport, in August 1868. The next pastor was Rev. George Steiner, born in New Ulm, Bavaria, April 13, 1836. He gave the School Sisters of Notre Dame charge of the school; he completed the church spire and gave the steeple a clock; he furnished oil paintings of the fourteen stations of the cross, and in 1873, built a large and substantial school house of brick, together with a Sisters' residence at a cost of $17,000. He suffered with hemorrhage of the lungs and spent the winter of 1876 to 1877 in Florida, and spring and summer of 1877 in Minnesota to recover his health. In the meantime, Rev. J. H. Hueser, D. D., had charge of the parish. In January, 1880, he resigned as pastor and with his faithful friend, Rev. Julius Becks, went to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he died peacefully, on June 1st, of the same year. The pastorate of his successor, Rev. J. H. Hueser, D. D., extends from January 1880 to August 24, 1906. During this time he paid off old debts in the sum of $14,238, and besides made repairs and improvements, aggregating $43,000. The improvements made were a new pastoral residence for $10,000, a main altar $2,300, a chime of three bells $1,350, frescoing of the church and renovation the same $6,000, an organ $4,000, ten stained glass windows from the Tyrolese Art Glass Company $5,140, tuck pointing brick work of church, and veneering the foundation $1,300, furnaces for the three buildings $2,500, cemetery of twenty acres $4,200.

Kunkler, from May 1879 till January 1880, later a member of the Congregation of the Most Precious Blood; Rev.
