Montrose Church and
Cemetery – Sioux County Nebraska
From: Sioux County – Memoirs of Its Pioneers
Montrose, Sioux Co., NE post office was located on
the high banks of Hat Creek,
which were covered with wild roses,
and was named for these two characteristics.
Immaculate Conception Church – Montrose, Sioux Co., NE
Located north of Harrison, NE.
From Nebraska Register supplement, 1962: courtesy Nellie Bannan.
The first recorded Mass offered in Sioux County was in the home of
Jacob Marking, who settled near Montrose in 1886. The exact date
and priest's name are not known, but the priest probably was from South
Dakota's Holy Rosary Mission. It is quite possible that the
famous Jesuit, Fr. Pierre DeSmet, may have passed through this area and
offered Mass, during travels in the 1850's among Sioux and Arapahoe
Indians.
Immaculate Conception Church was planned in 1886 and
build in 1887. First Mass in the new church probably was offered
by a priest from Holy Rosary Mission, and Fr. Patrick Brophy of Chadron
is known to have been the second priest of about 34 who have ministered
to spiritual needs of Catholics in Montrose community. A rectory
was built 1880 but abandoned shortly, due to sparse population of the
mission
Shortage of priests in Grand Island Diocese and
difficult travel to the remote mission caused Catholics of Montrose
area to be placed u der the care of priests at Ardmore, SC, Rapid City
Diocese. A resident pastor was assigned to Harrison parish in
1940; Montrose was made a mission of that parish, and has been attended
from there since that time. This is an interesting reversal, as
many Catholics from Harrison worshipped at Montrose church, built in
1887, in years before Harrison's Catholic church was built in 1907.
Original members of Montrose missions included
families of:
Zurn Haas
DeBano
Semroska
Borky
Meier Hoffman
Gayhart
Wasserburger Konrath
Serres Wunder
Geiser
Supplement from Maridee Federlee mms.:
In the church's construction, Theodore Remm was carpenter, assisted by
congregation members. The altar was hand carved by Solomon Borky.
