Scope and Contents

From the Collection: Father George Mehok, parish priest at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church at Wahpeton, North Dakota, researched the two main Fargo newspapers, Argus and Fargo Forum, covering the period of 1880 to 1935 for articles related to Catholicism. The early period (1880-1900) appears very thoroughly covered and contains a wealth of information on various topics. The collection is organized by subject as developed by Father Mehok. The collection has been broken into four series: Diocese of Fargo, St. Anthony's Church, St. Mary's Church, and Catholic related institutions in Fargo. Therein there are subject files arranged chronologically. Among the largest files are Bishops James O'Reilly and John Shanley, priests, social life, St. Mary's Parish, religious services, Knights of Columbus, Sacred Heart Academy, St. John's Hospital and St. John's Orphanage. These research notes include, in many cases, transcribed portions from the original texts with complete citations. This index makes available historical material found in un-indexed and voluminous newspapers. Abbreviations used are FFR for Fargo Forum and Daily Republican, and DA for Daily Argus.
