On the 6th day of January, 1866, Rev. Clement Scheve became the first resident pastor of Law- renceburgh. The present beautiful St. Lawrence’s Church was erected in 1866 on Walnut street, one square north of the old church. The church is ‘Of brick, 120 by 50 feet, with a large basement of stone, at first used for school purposes, but since converted into a chapel and a meeting-room for so- clettes. Father Scheve also built a parsenage in 1867, a spacious two-story brick building, and in I~ a large three-story school-house of brick, with a basement of stone. The school is the prop- erty of the Sisters of St. Francis. Father Scheve was born on October 4, 1828, in Lusche, Olden- burg, emigrated to America in 1848, and was or- dained March 19, 1859. Loss of health compelled him to resign his charge at Lawrenceburgh in August, 1870. He went to Minnesota, where he died in the spring of 1875.
