In Response To: J. M. Villars (k quinlan)

J M Villars is NOT the priest at Keokuk ? quoting the Keokuk parish's history :
It is 1848. A young Frenchman, Jean Baptist Villars, by name, had just received ordination at the hands of Bishop Loras. The year before, five young men, among them Louis Decailly and George Reffe, had come to America with Father Joseph Cretin. One, Father Villars, is now ready to serve. Apparently his first appointment brought him to Keokuk. Likely it came in May or June 1848. However the very earliest written record we have of him in Keokuk is dated March 1849. Be that as it may, here is his story briefly told.
