A Emerald is situated on One of the highest eminences in Kansas, Anderson county. It was settled bv i habitants of the Emerald Isle one year after the inauguration of James Bich anan to the presidency, and therefore several years betore the civil war. The first; Catholic settlers Emerald were: "Thomas Col lins, Henry Collins, David ana William Fitzgerald, Edward Red-dington Jrrv Sullivan, Michael Glennon, Hugh McEvoy, Terence McGrath and sons, Daniel Doolin, Pauick Campbell, James McLendon and his son Putricki This number was soon inci eased by the advent of the Grants. Mooneys, O' Neils, McGlinchy, McGlynn and Rich; ard Hagan The first church was of necessity of a very primitive kind, viz a little log church. Part of the logs were procured from JuarrT Brady and hauled from Garnett, a distance of 20 miles, by the Fitz-geralds, Reddingtons, McGraths, Ed Lewis'and Mike' Gleuon.

The remainder ot the iogs were procured from Hugh McEvoy, Sr. This log church was built on a 40 acre generously donated for church and cemetery purposes by Henry Collins. So years came and went nd these few people struggled on amid sunshine and showers, and sometimes without showers, until about the year 1866 he people i ucreased in number and prosperity and began to real ize that the old log church could no longer serve the purpose for which it had been Duilt, so they began ro buiH a stone church The people ot Ivffierald are at present making preparations for the raising cf a cemetery fund. They have on hand at present $750. and they expect to double that amount.

The object or this cemetery fund is to build a substantial fence around the cemetery. I have it platted lots 20x20. to see for the future that there shall be a definite system in di- ments, "for order is the first of nature to place a beautifnl crdicd irca cats at the entrczcen 4- 1 '11 which in those days was to be (and in reality was) a splendid structure! Michael Glennon quarried all the rock for this church which was 54x34 ihis was his donation. James McLendon and others pounded- up sandstone to make sand for the new church, as sand was a scarce artie'e in those days. Abouc the year 1890 1 his little church of 54x34 became entirely too small, so they decided to huild a church that was to be a credit to the settlement and today they take pride and pleasure in presenting to the public one of the -fines! churches in Eastern Kansis.
