Description
A pencil sketch of the old Catholic Church in Kaskaskia: "The old Catholic Church as it appeared in 1860. Later a belfry was added where they hung the bell that had been presented by the King of France. The dark monuments mark the last resting place of Col. and Mrs. Menard. The Mission Cross was erected in 1849 during a mission given by Rev. Pere Louis. The ceremonies were impressive. Citizens carrying the cross through Principal streets. Little girls dressed in white in advance of the Procession."
