DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The edit and re-issue of this book is dedicated to James H. Simon, a dedicated genealogist. My sincere thanks go to him for the information he compiled before the age of computers. His work was compiled over many years of research using only 3x5 index cards, scribbled notes, and then transferred to paper on a typewriter. I can only imagine how difficult this task was to complete in 1987. Simon's research has been treasured by amateur genealogists, and used as the foundation of many family trees. This edit and re-issue of his book promotes James Simon's original stated goal for developing his book. "I hope I can influence others to get going on their family tree. The longer one puts it off, the harder it will be to find answers. Every day more and more of our past is lost, either through the loss of irreplaceable records or through the deaths of the people who "lived" the information genealogists seek." Thank you James Simon...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →St. John the Evangelist Parish history begins as a small Catholic settlement on the banks of Sunfish Creek in Edmonson County, Kentucky. The pioneer settlers came from Madison County, Kentucky in 1825. Their cabins were built in close proximity for defense against marauding Indians. The settlement became known as Sunfish Station. Priests were scarce on the Kentucky frontier. The visits of a circuit-riding pioneer priests were infrequent, with Mass being offered in someone's home. It was not uncommon for a Catholic to go months between these visits. When the Rev. Father Degauquier took charge of the station at Sunfish there were only 14 to receive Communion. The first visit, in 1828, by Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget recorded 83 to receive Communion. Sunfish Station grew in number through the years but did not attract a resident pastor until the 1940's, when the Glenmary Home Missioners assumed responsibility for the parish. Till then it was a "Mission" parish served by the pastors of St. Augustine at Clarkson, Holy Spirit at Bowling Green and St. Joseph at Leitchfield. Follow the timeline of the pioneer priests, the visiting pastors and the resident pastors that served the parish through the years... the pioneer settlers, the parishioners... the Church, the School and the Sisters who taught there.
