This is from the book Grandpa Anton Janson wrote in 1947...a few pages later, he said, "I contributed close to the thousand dollar mark towards Buckman's new church building group (and) furnished the plan and originated the landscaping of the cemetery to perpetuate the memory of our departed loved ones." (This would be the second church building, the one that still stands).
If you'd like a look at St Michaels, there's a blog called The Steeplechase, where there are wonderful pictures of the church, and of St Josephs in Pierz, too.
