Since I can find nothing on this individual I will share a bit of the history of here.
"At Millwood. The first log church was built sometime in the 1840s. This meeting house was replaced by a brick church which was destroyed by a tornado in 1876. That year another church was erected. This is the largest Catholic church in the county. Also spelled St. Alphonsus' Church. St. Alfonso, or Alphonsus, Ligouri (1697-1787) was an Italian theologian and Missionary." ~ TROY FREE PRESS, Jan 1, 1886, page 1; Mrs. W.F. Guinn; Mrs. W.J. Sledd
