Does anyone have or anyone know of anyone with a photo of the wood catholic church in Moline that burned down in 1948?
The burned church replaced an older wood structure that had been moved in from Boston.
I have an aunt who was 12 years old when she witnessed it burning. She and her sister are wanting a photograph. Perhaps someone could scan it.
That old Boston church went to another site in Moline and may still be there as a private home.
Well, I believe that you are in luck, Waldo. I think I have a picture of that. I shall look on my computer and if I find it, I will not only e-mail it to you, but I will put it on the forum.
Well, I have looked and looked and I cannot find the picture that I just knew I had. However; I am calling some members of the Catholic Church and see if we can come up with something for you, Waldo, and the forum.
Okay, here goes. I was not able to find the pictures that I thought I had. However; Dana Denton had a flyer that St. Mary's put out in 2004. I have scanned this front and back and will attach both to this writing.
Waldo, If you want the original flyer, send me your address to this e-mail
janet_harrington@sbcglobal.net
I will mail the flyer to you.
If you don't have a program that will let you rotate those images, let me know and I will attach the pictures the correct way.
