Notes

a.	Note: NI20736 Elizabeth was apparently enumerated twice in the 1870 US Census; once at home with her widowed mother in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin and a second time about 9 days later at the home of her married sister, Mary Keeffe, in Greencastle Borough, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. ---------------------------------------- Elizabeth gave different birth years for the various census records: 1857 for the 1880 US Census and 1905 Wisconsin census, and June 1850 for the 1900 US Census. Researcher and great grandson Robert C. Westphal provides a birth date of 24 June 1854 which apparently was taken from the obituary. The IGI baptismal record and the 1861 Ontario Canada Census both support birth years of 1853. ----------------------------------------
b.	Note: DI20736 Pallbearers for her funeral were Mervin, Howard, Edmund, and Mark Keeffe as were her sons Edward, William, David, and Harry Drugan. --------------------------------
c.	Note: NF7524 The Drugans left County Tyrone, Ireland in 1849 and emigrated via New York. The 1900 US Census indicates that Patrick Drugan, Sr. arrived in the USA in 1853. The family likely lived for a short time in Sullivan, Pennsylvania with James Drugan and his family, and then moved to Kane, Illinois. They then moved to Caledonia Township, Racine County, Wisconsin in 1854, and then to the village of Trempealeau in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin around 1855. They first lived near the Old Catholic Cemetery in Trempealeau. ---------------------------------------- Married: 25 OCT 1878 in Saint Bridget's Catholic Church, Ettrick, Trempealeau County, Wisconsin Name: Patrick Drugan Event Type: Marriage Event Date: 25 Oct 1878 Event Place: Ettrick, Trempealeau, Wisconsin, United States Gender: Male Race: White Birthplace: Ireland Father's Name: Patrick Drugan Mother's Name: Annie Coyle Spouse's Name: Eliza Keefe Spouse's Gender: Female Spouse's Race: White Spouse's Father's Name: Michael Keefe Spouse's Mother's Name: Margaret Shea Reference ID: Marr. 1878 - 1892 GS Film Number: 1275576 Digital Folder Number: 007622474 Image Number: 00013 Citing this Record: "Wisconsin, County Marriages, 1836-1911," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XRKR-1PZ : 3 June 2016), Patrick Drugan and Eliza Keefe, 25 Oct 1878; citing Ettrick, Trempealeau, Wisconsin, United States, Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison; FHL microfilm 1,275,576. --------------------------------------------- Volume: 1 Page: 299 Full Name of Husband: Patrick Drugan, Jr. Full Name of Wife (Previous to Marriage): Eliza Keefe Occupation of Husband: Railroading Residence of Husband: Trempealeau Birthplace of Husband: Ireland Place Where Marriage was Contracted: Ettrick, Trempealeau County Time When Marriage was Contracted: October 25, 1878 By What Ceremony Contracted: Roman Catholic Names of Subscribing Witnesses: James Donovan and Mary Haligan Date of Certificate of Marriage: October 25, 1878 Name of the Father of the Husband: Patrick Drugan, Sr. Name of the Mother of the Husband: Anne Coyle Name of the Father of the Wife: Michael Keefe Name of the Mother of the Wife: Margaret Shea Dated at: Ettrick, Trempealeau, on the 25th day of October, 1878 William White, Catholic Priest, Ettrick, Trempealeau County, Wisconsin -------------------------------------------------- Transcribed from the "History of Trempealeau County Wisconsin, 1917," pages 843 - 845: St. BRIDGET'S PARISH The early Catholic settlers in the southeastern part of the county were few and widely scattered. Some lived in the town of Ettrick, some in the town of Gale and some in the town of Trempealeau. Being widely scattered, they never formed strong centers, such as we find in the towns of Arcadia, Dodge and Burnside. Having no parochial schools, prospective Catholic families who might otherwise have located there hesitated to do so. Hence the growth of the church in these three townships was not very rapid. Up to this day none of their parishes has sufficient means and a membership large enough to support a resident pastor without the assistance of some outside mission. None of them conduct a parochial school. For thirty-five years the priests residing at Ettrick had Galesville, Trempealeau and Roaring Creek as missions. Considering the distances from one church to another and the condition of the roads, one can easily imagine the hardships endured by the priests in administering to their scattered flock. More than one priest imperiled his life. At present the condition has been somewhat improved by the fact that Trempealeau has a resident pastor with Galesville as a mission, and that the pastor of Saint Bridget's Parish is only obliged to attend to the mission at Roaring Creek. The early settlers in the sixties had no church, but mass was offered occasionally in the homes of some of the Catholics by pioneer priests from Saint Mary's Church, La Crosse, Wisconsin. Among these is especially remembered Rev. M. Marcoe. Saint Bridget's Parish was organized by Rev. C. A. Gerst in 1869 and the first church was erected at a cost of $2,000 in 1870. On account of hardships connected with the work of Saint Bridget's and its remote missions the good spirits of the pastors were put to such a test, and their health so greatly impaired, that many had to request their bishop for a change after serving but a short time. The list of pastors is as follows: Rev. C. A. Gerst, 1869 - 1870 Rev. Herman Kamphschroer, 1870 - 1871 Rev. Martin Connolly, 1871 - 1872 Rev. Twohy, 1872 - 1873 Rev. Chas. Gunkel, 1873 - 1875 Rev. N. Flammang, 1875 - 1877 Rev. N. White, 1877 - 1880 **(Married Patrick Drugan Jr., and Elizabeth Jane O'Keeffe) Rev. J. B. Conroy, 1880 - 1882 Rev. J. H. Neubrand, S. J., 1882 - 1883 Rev. J. Harrier, 1883 - 1884 Rev. J. J. Briene, 1884 - 1889 Rev. Aug. Biersner, 1889 - 1892 Rev. Daniel McElhaney, 1892 - 1895 Rev. Telise Bryne, 1896 - 1899 Rev. M. P . O'Connor, 1899 - 1905 Rev. M. A. Keegan, 1905 - 1906 Rev. B. A. Enis, 1906 - 1907 Rev. Jos. Colling, January 1907 - April 1907 Rev. J. F. McGinnity, 1907 - 1908 Rev. M. Morris, 1908 - 1911 Rev. J. J. Carden, May 1911 - November 1911 Rev. Jos. Buschelmann, 1911 - 1914 Rev. Peter Briody, 1914 - 1917 Rev. Henry Engelhardt, O. M. I., since March 1917 Among these special mention must be given to Rev. White and Rev. Felix Bryne, who greatly improved and renovated the dilapidated condition into which, through age, the property had sunk. In 1904 Rev. M. Mark O'Connor built a church at Galesville, and, for a time, it was thought that the future of the church in this section of the county would be in Galesville. Hence three pastors who followed Rev. O'Connor established their residence at Galesville and Saint Bridget's became a mission. This, however, did not please the people of Ettrick. Greatly chagrined they took a determined stand against such a move. In time it did prove to the ecclesiastical authorities that the move to Galesville was impracticable, and in 1907 the residence of the pastor was re-established at Ettrick. This served to reunite the people of Saint Bridget's and filled them with new hope and courage. Since then, under the administration of Rev. Briody, they erected a beautiful new church at a cost of $9,000. This church was completed in Jun 1917. Unfortunately Rev. Briody did not see the full completion of the new church. On 5 Feb 1917, he was found dead in his home. On the previous day, which was bitter cold, he attended a sick call twenty miles in the country through large snowdrifts. This overtaxing of himself is supposed to have been directly responsible for his death. By boarding up the windows it was possible to conduct his funeral from the new church. His remains rest in the cemetery to the left of the church. Saint Bridget's now counts 75 families or 220 souls. Now that they have an inviting church and are united the parish will see a period of great prosperity and healthy growth. The present pastor, Rev. Henry Engelhardt, is a native of Germany. He was born on Oct. 5, 1886, and ordained on July 9, 1911. He belongs to the congregation of Oblate Missionaries and spent five years as missionary in India. At the outbreak of the war he was interned by the English, for no cause other than that he was a German in an English colony. Being confined for two years in a detention camp, he was released upon the condition that he would leave English soil. Coming to the United States, he was appointed pastor of Saint Bridget's Church. He is a man of great experiences, well versed in many languages, of energetic and courageous disposition, yet kind and winning in his ways. He has made many friends in a short time and already done much for Saint Bridget's Parish. ------------------------------------------------
