Subject: [PABERKS] Catholics/Canal Workers in Douglassville
For those of you looking for Catholic connections prior to St. Aloysius in
Pottstown or if you had Irish or Italian ancestors who worked on the
Schuylkill Canal:
(I have only two typed pages with this information and no source is listed,
sorry).
"In the early years of the 19th Century Jesuit Missionaries celebrated Mass
several times a year at the homes on Catholics who owned farms in the Union
Township area from Monocacy, through Douglassville to Pottstown.
The Schuylkill Navigation Company began to build the Schuylkill-Union Canal
from Gibralter from Valley Forge. Henry Flannery (1791-1866) came to this
country via Canada from County Tipperary, Ireland. He later earned a degree
in engineering and headed several canal projects in America, including the
Chesapeake Bay Canal to the Delaware Bay. Flannery, along with partner
Matthew Ryan, headed the Union Canal project. They brought an estimated 150
Irish and Italian immigrants to the area in the time span 1823 to 1830 as
laborers. Flannery owned a 220 acre farm in Douglassville and completed the
erection of a homestead that was begun by the Hirst family in 1815. He
served two terms in the Pennsylvania legislature in the 1840's, and was an
unsuccessful candidate for governor.
In 1830 he build a St. Paul Mission Chapel on land he donated. In 1846 the
church was enlarged to accommodate 150 parishioners. It was modeled after
the church in Bally. Bishop John Neumann dedicated the church and regularly
used the Flannery Homestead as a base for his missionary work in Berks and
Schuylkill Counties. He reported converted many canal workers and area
farmers as he mastered the language of German, Gaelic, Latin and English.
St. Paul's Mission Church, in disuse for a number of years, is now in the
process of restoration by a local committee. An estimated 400 persons are
buried inside and outside the church walls, many very victims of plagues
over
the years. Several slaves are interred here as they sought refuge in the
area during the Civil War.
After Would War I, an Oblate priest from Wilmington, Father J. Francis
Tucker, ministered to the Catholics in the area. He later assisted in the
planning for the original Immaculate Conception Church in Birdsboro, Routes
82 and 724. Tucker was later assigned to Monaco and officiated at the
wedding of Prince Rainer and Grace Kelly."
The restoration project, to my knowledge, has not been completed. The
cemetery is still there and I understand it is close to Covatta's Brinton
Inn
in Douglassville. I am planning on visiting this site next weekend and will
provide an update to anyone who is interested. I do have a partial list of
those buried in the cemetery, including quite a large number of Italians who
died in the flu epidemic in 1917-1918. I am listing the names I have below.
If you make a connection, please email me privately and I will give you
whatever other information I have on the individual.
Names include:
. . .
Clemmer, Annie C.
Clemmer, John A.
Clemmer, Kathryn I.
Clemmer, Lewis W.

Subject: Waldo Hills
Surname: Clymer, Blackerby
-------------------------
The Waldo Hills are predominantly in Marion County but the old road used
to stay away from the wet and boggy areas of the Willamette River Valley
in the early 1860s. One has to remember that quite a few settlers were
here in Marion County by 1855. The post office of Lebanon existed in Marion
county for several years prior to the creation of the town of Lebanon in
1858 in Linn County. With the exception of the difficulty crossing the
Santiam River the North/South route followed the foothills on fairly well
traveled Indian trade paths. Howell Prairie Road went from almost the North
edge of Marion County to Stayton on the South edge; then crossed the Santiam
and through the foothills of Linn county to what later became Lebanon.
Clymers took a DLC (Donation Land Claim) in the Waldo Hills area and a
Clymer School was built. The area around the school house was referred
to as Clymer or Clymers. Take a look at the 1878 MARION LINN ATLAS and
you will begin to understand more of the lay of the land. There is a book
called: MOUNT HOPE CEMETERY AND PIONEERS OF THE WALDO HILLS IN MARION COUNTY
OREGON by Ferne Hellie, Howard Mader and Addie Dyal Rickey which mentions
several of the Clymers. You can request in on Inter-Library Loan or order
it from Ferne Hellie -- Past Times, 3280 Croisan Creek Road S., Salem,
OR 97302.

The meeting was well attended, and fourteen were baptised. The services

I have a guy friend who's g-g-grandfather was John J. Klemmer from North
Braddock, near Pittsburgh. I am helping his sister research her family.
Could this be the same? John was married to Mary and they had sons Albert,
John J, Peter, Oscar and daughters Mary, Elizebeth, Anna, Louisa. This is
all listed on the PA 1910 Census that is available on the ancestry.com
website free till 10/14. I visit the grave of John J. Kleemer, who is
buried in Jeannette, PA.
