Scope and Content

Identified on the cover of each notebook as: "Historical Memoranda collected by Rev. Joseph A. Thie, at one time pastor of St. Paul's Parish, Tell City, Indiana". Thirty-nine notebooks roughly 7" x 8", with alphabetically arranged tabs bearing names of states. The notes tend to provide some scrap of information about a Catholic church, priest, or bishop, with few citations of sources. For example: "Buffalo, Jan 1890. St. Adelbert's Parish. This young parish has serious trouble over change of priests. The successor had to have police production in ch. (Gave a Polish priest $300 to go to Rome + fight the Bp - didn't go but went to Pa. There 3 months later arrested by the givers of the 300.00 etc. no end)".

Background

Rev. Joseph A. Thie appears as an Indiana priest in Catholic Directories from the 1910s and 1920s, and in some news articles from the same period.
