St.Agatha-0001-Orphanage-Postcard.jpg

St. Agatha Orphanage, postcard 1908, now demolished. - In 1858 he established St. Agatha Orphanage in a vacant log building after nine children from the same family were orphaned. By 1868 there were enough changes to warrant the construction of a large stone building next to the church, complete with a school chapel and dormitories. In 1871 Fr. Funcken applied to the School Sisters of Notre Dame (S.S.N.D.) in Milwaukee to come and provide instruction, stability and management of the Catholic orphanage. They consented and with their arrival thus began a close long-term relationship between the S.S.N.D. and the community. For many years the people of St. Agatha were the sole support of the orphanage and school. In 1965 the orphanage was closed and the facility incorporated as Notre Dame of St. Agatha.
