Away back yonder when Monroe City the Queen of the Prairies, was not even a hamlet, 1855, what is now St Judes Parish was organ ized in Marion county northwest of this city. The coming of the Han nibal and bt Joseph railroad, now the Burlington, showed Rev. Scheetz that this was a stragic point so in 1866 the headquarters of the St Judes church was moved to what is now this city and the pretty stone church commenced on the state roadside, now North Main Street and completed in 1867. Of the charter members only two, J. R McClintic and sister, Miss Mattie. survive. then in lobo wbat is known as the First Baptist Church of the city was organized by Rev. W. C. Busby, still living in Hannibal, out of the material made through a protract ed meeting held by Rev. B. F. Hix son. Of that organization only two charter members still live. J. M. Proctor and wife The Christian Church was the third one to effect an organization which was consumated in March 1869 and of that strong church on ly two members remain, they being William Payne and Miss Fannie Walker Mrs. Harrison Lary re sides in St. Louis. Then in Oct 1870, the Presbyteri an Church became a living organi sation and out it there is only one, Mrs. James Marshall left alone on the shore of time awaiting the ca to join the others. The M. E. Church, South in the misty past was a part of the Sharps burg circuit and its birth in 1870 meant the gradual death of the mother church, Sharpsburg. From its strugling infantcy it has waxed strong, but of the faithful organiz ers only one,. John Shearman awaiting the bugle call to cross the Great Divide. Then came the Holy Rosary Par ish in 1884 owning now one of the finest properties in the city, which was organized with twelve male members and of the that number only two are awaiting the angels call to come, they are Andrew Grimm and Frank Westhoff. The last of our city churches to come into life was the Grace Bap tist Church which was organized in 1900 and of that body only two charter members survive, Mrs. Wil liam Patterson and Miss Cattie Wood.

Mo., Nov. 19, 1876 and en tered into rest from the home of her grandmother in Monroe City, Sept 9. 1909 She professed faith in Christ in 1896. uniting with the Presbyterian Church. Her life was one of singular de votion to the cause of Christ and in her quiet way and confident trust in Him gave evidence daily of the transformed life. In health she walked with her Saviour and in her long illness she suffered for Him, enduring all for His sake. Patient in her affliction, confident in her hope of future blessedness. She lived in faith and died in the triumphs of that faith. Some of her last words are these, "Yes on ly waiting, it will not be long" spoken only a few hours before her departure and "Come quickly Lord Jesus" and the soirit took its de parture to the mansions of our Fathers home.
