Something Local Have you seen the May 2008 issue of "Something Local", a newspaper servicing Monroe, Jackson and Juneau counties? If you are able to get a hold of a copy, check out the article on page 14 titled "Familiar Country Church Revitalized." That familiar country church is our own St. Matthew Church! If you can't find the newspaper, click here to read the article. (MS Word document) Wisconsin Central From Katherine Enderle: A few weeks ago I came home after picking up the kids from school and there was a man and his wife parked in our parking lot. He was taking pictures of the church, and told me that he travels around the state taking pictures of neat old buildings for a website. He was driving down Highway 12 and spied St. Matthew on the hill, and wanted to include it on his website! I found the site today -- nice picture, brief write-up (although not entirely accurate about the age of the building), and a link to our website! Check it out! http://www.wisconsincentral.net/CultureBldgsHomes.html |
