,:.--J-^---i.:,-r ,-**•«_. V\ u Fear no man, and do justice to all men." <#-, Vol. IV SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1906 No. 11 > ...•* THE REV. FATHER F. F. O'SHEA. It was with regret that the members of St. James': Gatholic church learned of the departure of their pastor, Rev. Father F. F. O'Shea, which wjll take place during next week, and he will take charge' of the parish at New Gastle. During his service here and through'his ability the_ church* has^^grg|^r^d. WhenFatherjD'^ found the church swamped in de'bt, and in leaving, the church is free from all debt and a surplus in the treasury. Father O'Shea was born west of Killarney,. Ireland, and. came to Americajn 1873, he was educated in the schools of England, and also Studied under the tutorship of the Franciscan Fathers who^are affiliated with St. Isidore's in Rome. He was a devoted and earnest pastor, and also an earnest advocate and helper in every effort for the good of the community. The first pastor of the Gatholic faith in this vicinity was Father Reed, pastor of the Beaver Ghurch, who came to the Valley once a monthj oh, a week day, for two years, and held services at a cottage of Mr. Greighton's, on the Shields' nursery grounds* After Mr. Greighton's removal to the Garrison property in the borough services were held there for two years. A lot was then bought on Walnut street, in 1860, and paid for by five families who composed the congregation at that time, and a subscription list was started forthe building. Owing to the failing health of Father Reed, and finally his death, the church was minister-, ed to by the German Fathers of St. Mary's, Allegheny. - The first building was a small frame structure. A brick building succeeded this, but soon after its completion the roof fell in, and it had to be rebuilt. In 1891 Father O'Shea was appointed, and on Sunday, August 26, 190S, was a. day of rejoicing forthe members of the church and pastor, when the formal wiping out of the church debt by the burning of the mortgage was held. The (Continued on Page 13.) Business Men Meet. The Sewickley Valley Business Men's Association met in regular session in its hall on Broad street on Tuesday evening of this week. President W. G. Murray was in the chair and considerable interesting business was transacted. Plans for the reception which the Association will give to the members and their wives and friends on November 20 were received and everything points toward a most enjoyable evening. Special attention will be paid to the electric lighting and decorations for that evening, and there will be music and speaking for the entertainment of the guests,.not to mention the eatables. Mr. James McG. Stinson was appointed as delegate from the Association to attend the meeting of the State Board of Trade, held in Harrisburg yesterday. The Association expressed a desire to. assist Gouncil in any fight it may be making against the 20 per cent, of a raise in the price of gas by the Manufacturers' Light and Heat Gompany in' our valley, and notified Gouncil to that effect. The next meeting of the Association will be on Tuesday evening, November 20. "Reform Spelling." A most able article appears alse- where in this edition on "Reform Spelling." It was prepared and presented before the regular meeting of the teachers of our public schools this week by Professor H. K. Underwood, M. A., principal of the Sewickley High School. It is a brilliant composition on this, our latest "reform," and shows the scholarly attainments of the gentleman who penned it. So well and favorably was it received by the teachers that a unanimous request waa sent to this office to publish the same that thereby the scholars and their parents might have an opportunity of reading it. This request the Herald is only too glad to grant, as we have no finer institution of learning in the State than the Sewickley Public School, which is so ably conducted by foremost educators.

About 30 years ago Mrs. de Barenne moved to Osborne, then known as Haysville, and has seen that part of the country grow up from a straggling rural community to its present fine proportions. Many years ago she married Edward de Barenne, who was connected with the iron firm of Graff, Bennett & Go., at their Water street office. Mr. de Barenne died in, March, 1872. He was a son of a general in the army of Napoleon and was born with the French army before Moscow, his mother having gone to the front with her husband.
