St. Joseph's Church
Jersey Township, Licking County, Ohio
Built in 1875 to replace a hewed-log chapel, St. Joseph's Church, Jersey
Township, Licking County, Ohio was razed in 1949. Irish settlers came into the
area in the 1830's and increased in number so that in 1850 a small log church
was built. There were more than twenty Catholic families in 1871 when the above
illustrated church was built. The little parish received its first resident
pastor in 1893, and became a mission of Ascension parish. Johnstown in 1912.

Architects, Columbus.)
