From 1851 to 1863 the original log church was called St. Bartholomew. It was located some distance outside the Village of Rubicon on the Bartholomew and Angela Hahn homestead. In 1861 the log church build in 1853 was in major need of repair and some of the parishioners wished to replace it where it stood. The majority of the congregation lived in the Village of Neosho and they wished for it to be built in the village. The matter was decided by Bishop Henni who, not being fully aware of the situation, decided in favor of locating the new church building where the old log building had stood.

With the decision made, the parishioners who supported it commenced to build a field stone and cement building where the old log building had stood. The parishioners who thought the Bishop was a bit misguided commenced to build a frame church building in the Village of Neosho. Not to long thereafter Father Salzmann visited the area, saw the predicament, reporting back to Bishop Henni of the situation in the area and suggested the Bishop might wish to reconsider his decision. This the bishop did and St. Bartholomew was no more. Parish registrations in Latin and English begin in 1851.

In 1894 church building was destroyed by fire. As it was to late in the season, the basement was finished and covered by a temporary roof where services were held until spring when the building could be completed. There was a parochial school with 40 students in charge of a lay teacher.

In 1896 St. John of Rubicon was a mission of St. Matthew. The congregation was estabished in 1870 and consists of 44 family all German.

In 1896 St. Mary in Woodland was a mission of St. Matthew being started in 1862. It consisits of 35 families mostly German.

In 1896 St. Matthew numbered 75 families. The parochial school was attended by 40 scholars under the direction of a lay teacher.

Tenures of the priest were identified through their registrations. Postings for this parish are unusual for they are not in chronological order but alphabetic order. Therefore determining first and last dates for a pastor is a bit difficult. (2)

St. Michael was officially recognized in 1855. Instructions were in English and German. From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: The congregation of St. Michael's at St. Michael's (sic), Washington County, Wisconsin, was organized in October 1846, and the first church was built at that place in the following year under the direction of the Rev. Father Schraudenbach. Prior to the time of organization, and until the year 1855, the Catholics living in this vicinity were attended as a mission by the Rev. Beiter (sic), under whose administration and direction the congregation was established and a church built. A second church was built under the direction of Father Beiter in 1853. When he left for another field of labor in 1855, he was succeeded by the Rev. L. Bartosz, who remained until 1858. Then came in succession the Rev. Fathers C. Rehrl, 1858 to 1862; I. Reindl, 1862 to 1868; A. Mueller, 1868 to 1869; Ruckengruber, 1869 to 1871; C. Rehrl again, 1871; J.B. Edelmann, 1871 to 1876; J. Gratza, 1876 to 1877; C. Grobschmit, 1877 to 1882; P.H. Welbes, 1882 to 1888; M.J. Lochemes, 1888 to 1889; L.N. Thelen, 1889 to 1892, and George J. Muenzer, the present rector, who has had charge of the congregation since December of the latter year. Under his direction, a new and commodious parsonage was built at St. Michael's in 1894, and the interior of the church frescoed throughout in 1896.

The congregation of St. Michael's, which now numbers seventy families and about three hundred and twenty communicants, celebrated its Golden Jubilee on the 17th of August, 1896. A parochial school was established in connection with St. Michael's about forty years ago, when a temporary building was erected. The present school house, which is substantial, commodious and fully adequate to the demands put upon it, was built by the Rev. C. Grobschmit during his pastorate of five years, from 1877 to 1882. At the present time [1896], the school is divided into two departments, which are in charge of the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis. The regular average attendance is seventy-five.

The third and present church of St. Michael's was built by Rev. P.H. Welbs during the years 1884 and 1885, at a cost of $12,000. It is a solid brick building 45x100 feet, having A Steeple 130 feet high. Of Catholic organizations in this parish, there are, the St. Michael's Benevolent Society of which Matthew Thull, Jr., is president; Joseph Fellenz, vice-president; John Rodenkirch, secretary; Matthew Herreges, treasurer, and J. Wiskirchen, marshal. There is also a Ladies' Altar Society, and a Sodality of St. Rose of Lima for Young Ladies.

To St. Michael's congregation is attached a mission, called St. John of God, situated in the town of Farmington. Prior to the year 1877, this mission had been attended by the reverend pastors from Barton and St. Peter's. Since 1877, however, the rector of St. Michael's has held regular weekly services there.

From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: The Catholic church at Fredonia, Wisconsin, which was dedicated to the Mother of Sorrows, was first established about the year 1847. Prior to this time, the people of that vicinity were occasionally visited by traveling priests, and more immediately subsequent to it organization, at stated intervals, by resident pastors from adjacent parishes. The first that we have in the way of recorded facts regarding the pastors associated with this congregation were given in 1857 when the Rev. Simon Bartosz attended the congregation at Fredonia. He was succeeded by the Rev. J. Stucky, who remained until 1859; the Father Rehrl to 1860; Fathers Hasselbauer and Reif to 1861; the Rev. C. Rehrl to 1863 and the Rev. J. Mehlmann to 1864. During Father Mehlmann's administration, a mission was held by the Rev. Jesuit Father F.X. Weinger, in August, 1863.

The next pastor of this congregation was the Rev. M. Retzer, who remained until 1865 when the Rev. George Strickner replaced him. He was succeeded in 1866 by the Rev. J. Welter, who conducted the pastorate until 1871. In 1868 the second church, a stone structure, was erected. After the departure of Father Welter, the Rev. Father Rehrl took charge again until 1878, when he was succeeded by the Rev. W.J. Frantz, who remained until 1880. The year preceding this, a parsonage was built, and it was at this time also that the congregation received its first permanent pastor. After Father Frantz, the Rev. Seb. Weiss took charge. He was succeeded in 1881 by Father A.T. Reininger, who remained until November. 1883, when Father Raess was appointed to the pastorate. During this latter's residence at Fredonia, which lasted until 1888, a commodious brick school-house was erected and the church frescoed throughout. Father Raess was succeeded by the Rev. J.H. Korfhage, who remained until 1890, at which time, the present pastor, the Rev. P.J. Delles, assumed the duties.

The congregation now consists of about forty-eight families. There is one parochial school in Fredonia, which is in charge of two Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, and has a regular attendance of fifty-one scholars. Associated with this congregation is the St. Mary's Ladies' Society of the Rosary, of which the pastor is president; Mrs. Theresa Mertzig, secretary, and Mrs. Walburga Retzer, treasurer. It has thirty-seven members. (2)
