' LyHE chimes of the “Great- er St. Alphonsus” are being intoned in many hearts; and from the Parish comes a sil- very echo — the Jubilee Vol- ume. It is Today’s little labor of love that links the tender memories of Yesterday with the eager hopes of Tomorrow. If it but makes St. Alphonsus better known, more deeply loved, it will not have been done in vain. [HI

4 Iphonsonian. TriWie to Our .Pioneers MR. MATTHIAS BERGER To Mr. Matthias Berger and Mrs. Anna Horger, whose pictures appear on this page, belong the distinction of being the only pioneers, still liv- ing in this parish, who saw the es- tablishment of St. Alphonsus Parish. Mr. Matthias Berger was born in Greenfield township, February 13, 1847, but was baptized in St. Mary’s Church, Detroit, Mich., which his father and mother at that time at- tended. In his early youth the little, old brick church was built and here he made his first Holy Communion June 11, 1857. In 1878 he was married to Philomena Siterlet and to this happy union were born ten children of whom eight are living while twenty-nine of his children’s children delight in calling h i m Grandpa.” Lives like Mr. Berger’s, busy, active and useful, form a splendid model for the young peo- ple of today whose opportunities are so much wider. Mrs. Anna Mary Horger was born October 4, 1848, on the East Side of Detroit which is now known as Grosse Point. Her parents mov- ed to St. Alphonsus Parish in the Spring of 1 850. In 18 57 she was placed in the care of relatives in Detroit and attended St. Joseph’s School, making her first Holy Com- munion in St. Joseph’s Church in 1861. She was married in 1866 to Anthony Horger, who died in 1917. During her married life the old St. Alphonsus School was built and also the Church on Warren Avenue and Schaefer Road. She is the mother of thirteen children, nine of whom are living. Fifty-four grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchil- dren live in this and surrounding parishes where they reflect credit up- on the labors of this fine old pio- neer lady of whom St. Alphonsus is justly proud. MRS. ANNA MARY HORGER
