Father Adrian Hoecken originally established St. Ignatius mission on the bank of the Fend dOnelle river across from the present town of Cusick, Wash. This was in 1844. Because the site was not centrally located among the tribes, the mission was transferred 10 years later to its present location at St. Ignatius, Mont., at the request of the Indians. By 1855 more than a thousand Indians of different tribes had gathered at St. Ignatius to make their homes at the mission or in its immediate vicinity. A large church was constructed in 1864 to replace the primi tive chapel that had rendered good service for years. A whip saw mill operated from power obtained from a creek close by furnished all the material for the erection of the church. In 1863 it was decided to build a boarding school for the mission, the school opening the following year. By 1864 the im provements also included a flour mill. .
