Book Description
Excerpt from Souvenir of the Diamond Jubilee of St. Boniface Congregation, Quincy, Illinois: Including an Historical Sketch 1837-1912 The first permanent settlement on the present site of Quincy was made by John Wood in the year 1821, when he came to take possession of the lands allotted to him for his services in the war of 1812. Little did he dream at the time that he was laying the foundation of a great and prosperous city, a city of many flourishing industries, a city of commercial enterprise, a Gibraltar in the world of finance, a vast domain of parks and gardens, a realm of beautiful homes, a center of efficient schools and colleges, the seat of magnificent churches and charitable institutions, the Gem City of the West. It was named after Quincy Adams, then president of the United States, from whom also the county in - which it is situated derives its name. In 1826 was built the first court house, a two-story log cabin measuring 18x22 feet. In 1829 Michael Mast (born 1797, died 1852) the first German Catholic settler, arrived in Quincy, and in 1834 we find him among the trustees who signed the application for the incorporation of their settlement, consisting of about 600 souls living mainly along the river front and around the site now ocen pied by Washington Park.

Book Description
With Loving Care is a book that describes the history of the American Province of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ from the time of its founding by five sisters who came from Germany to Hessen Cassel, Indiana, to serve the German-speaking people of Northwestern Indiana until the present day. The book was written to outline the efforts of the sisters with the people of the different geographic areas throughout Northern Indiana, all through Illinois and the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Wherever the sisters ministered, they also attracted other young women to join them, either as vowed members or as associates who would also serve the people following the charism of Catherine Kasper. The work of the sisters was in the general fields of health care, education, and childcare. As time went on, the apostolates expanded to include parish ministry, retreat ministry, and individual types of service with the people.
