DEAN BODE’S HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF ST. MICHAEL’S CHURCH
First Services Held Here at Enterprise Hall,
Southeast Corner of Los Angeles and
Chartres Streets, 50 Years Ago
THE following interesting historical sketch of the establishment
here of St. Michael’s Episcopal church, 50 years ago, has been
prepared by Dean Bode, pastor of the church. It will be perused
with great interest, not only by members of the congregation,
but by many of the people of this city and surrounding country
as well. The congregation is occupying
the church erected here a short
time after the first meeting, but has
in contemplation the building of a
commodious church in the near future:
Beginnings.
The services of the Episcopal church began in Anaheim, in the year 1874.
At that time, there were only three
places in Southern California where
the church had been planted—Los Angeles,
Santa Barbara and San Diego.

1. The membership fee shall be $25 per annum, payable annually, semi-annually or quarterly in advance.
2. Any person, association, corporation, partnership or estate may subscribe for membership in the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce by undertaking to pay the annual does therefor."
The amendment reads as follows:
"That the by-laws of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce be amended to admit as members of this organization, at a membership fee of $10 per year, the following classes:
First—All employees in the city of Anaheim who are not managing heads or superintendents of business firms or corporations.
Second—Any person living outside the city limits of Anaheim, whose principal pursuit is ranching.
Third—All non-resident property owners who do not receive mail through the Anaheim postoffice."
The forum committee is composed of Harry D. Riley, chairman; H. N. White, H. W. Faris, Louis Danz and Harry Campbell."

Anaheim
St. Michael's church, Anaheim, owes its beginning to a single individual—Miss Susan M. Lafaucherie. She arrived in Anaheim from Trenton, N.J., in 1874, and finding no Episcopal church there, she secured the use of a building called "Enterprise Hall"; collected funds for an organ to replace a decrepit piano; gathered practically all the children of the little town together for Sunday school every Sunday afternoon, and appealed to Bishop Klip to send a pastor.
The Anaheim Gazette of March 21, 1874, says: "A large congregation assembled in Enterprise Hall, drawn thither by the announcement that Bishop Klip would officiate. Circumstances, however, prevented him from filling the engagement, and the Rev. H. H. Messenger officiated in his good."
This appears to be the first service Mr. Messenger loaned his organ till another should arrive from San Francisco, bought with the funds collected by Miss Lafaucherie. Shortly after this first service, Bishop Klip sent Rev. C. F. Loop, who had been at St. Athanasius' Los Angeles, in 1869, and he began regular services in Anaheim in the spring of 1874. At his first service there were four persons present. Mr. Loop continued till the full of the year, when the Rev. E. B. Kellogg, D.D., took up his residence in Anaheim and held service every Sunday till March, 1875. Then the Rev. W. S. Neales was appointed by Bishop Klip as missionary in Anaheim.
St. Michael's Mission Organized
The Anaheim Gazette of May 8, 1875, says: "We learn that during the recent visit of Bishop Klip, he gave consent to the organization of the Episcopal church in near future: Beginnings"
The services of the Episcopal church began in Anaheim, in the year 1874. At that time, there were only three places in Southern California where the church had been planted—Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego.
The bishop was the Rt. Rev. W. Ingraham Kip, who lived in San Francisco and had all California for his diocese. He had held a service in Los Angeles, in 1855, and placed as missionary there, in 1864, the Rev. Ellas Birdsall. Mr. Birdsall built a little church called St. Athanasius'. From this church and parish grew St. Paul's cathedral, Los Angeles. Years afterward another St. Athanasius' was built.
The second parish was Trinity, Sahta Barbara, founded in 1867.
The third was St. Paul's, San Diego, begun in 1869.
The fourth was St. Michael's, Anaheim, begun in 1874, and organized in May, 1875.
The fifth was the parish of Our Saviour San Gabriel, organized in December, 1875.

Will Take Census
Of Six Townships
Mrs. Genevieve Fording Has Charge of Work Here
Census takers, who will conduct the census ordered last week by the county supervisors, covering six of the ten townships in the county, were named and are reported ready to commence their task.
The census must be completed by November 2 in order to accomplish its purpose, which is to establish a new population basis for township salary schedules, provided in the county government act adopted by the last legislature. This act fixes the salaries of justices of the peace and constables according to the population of their township.
At present, the population basis used is taken from the federal census of 1920. This census is thought to be obsolete in the six townships for which a new census has been ordered. But unless the new census is made before the date of election, November 2, the present schedule must hold over during the new terms of office, commencing January 1. It means a difference of $25 per month to the officials; a difference of $1200 for the four-year term.
The census takers appointed by the supervisors, one for each township, are as follows:
Santa Ana township, F. E. McCarter;
Orange township, Clyde F. Newton;
Anaheim township, Genevieve Fording;
Fullerton township, Grace A. Jaffray;
Brea township, George Henigan;
Newport Beach township, D. G. Dodge.
Each township census taker is authorized to employ whatever help is required for completion of the work by November 2.

Dan Naugle Home From Extended Trip
Visited Many States During His Seven Months' Tour
After an absence of seven months, during which time he toured many states and visited many cities, Dan Naugle has returned to his home in Anaheim, and will be content to spend the balance of his days here. Dan left here on the Santa Fe on March 6, going east over the southern route through Houston, Texas and New Orleans to Jacksonville, Fla. From Jacksonville he went down the coast to Miami, and describes the Dream City as a very nice town—but he saw it before the recent hurricane wrecked it.
On the way north, he stopped at Washington, Philadelphia and New York, then went to his old home at Johnstown Pa.; where he spent several All Previous Efforts to-Be Outdone by This Year's Spectacle; Hundreds of Persons to Participate in Great Parade to Be Given on the Evening of Friday, October 29; Unique Costumes and Attractive Floats
PREPARATIONS are now under way for staging Anaheim's annual fall event, the Hallowe'en party and street parade, which will be given this year on Friday night, October 29. So eminently successful has this affair been on previous occasions, that it is looked forward to with delightful anticipation by those who believe in seasoning the daily grind of life with a little fun. It is promised by those in charge that this year's affair will far surpass those that have gone before.
This annual event in Anaheim is becoming one of the outstanding features, not only for the city, but for the county as well. By giving this party, the merchants of Anaheim express their appreciation to the trading community in which they exist. The one object is that of a good time. A splendid parade of floats and marching contingents, some attractive, others ludicrous, greet the visitors. A spirit of high-jinks, good fellowship and a general good time is prevalent. Splendid music, many prizes and street dancing will make up the partial list of the activities of the evening. Twenty thousand persons have enjoyed this event on former occasions. This year the invitation is extended far and wide, that all may participate in the hospitality of our merchants.
President O. H. Renner of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association has appointed the following committees to function for the party:

Naugle has returned to his home in Anaheim, and will be content to spend the balance of his days here. Dan left here on the Santa Fe, on March 6, going east over the southern route through Houston, Texas and New Orleans to Jacksonville, Fla. From Jacksonville he went down the coast to Miami, and describes the Dream City as a very nice town—but he saw it before the recent hurricane wrecked it.
On the way north, he stopped at Washington, Philadelphia and New York, then went to his old home at Johnstown, Pa.; where he spent several months with relatives and friends. On the return trip he stopped at Humboldt, Iowa, to visit a brother and sister, then went up to Rochester, Minn., for a medical examination at the famous Mayo Institute. The physicians there told him that he would regain his health if he would go to Southern California.
The return trip took him through Walla Walla, Wash., and Portland, Ore. At Walla Walla he found the temperature 20 degrees below the freezing point, consequently he did not tarry there. From Portland he turned southward, and states the climate grew better the farther he traveled.
Dan is a close observer and can give an excellent description of every point he visited, but he found no place above criticism until he reached his old home town. He experienced extreme heat and bitter cold on his travels. He marvels that anybody would have the fraternity to point to Florida as a rival of California. There can be no comparison between the two, he declares, and he saw Florida at its best, months before it was devastated by high winds and tidal waves.
While in Washington he visited the White House, and had the pleasure of meeting the President.
Mr. and Mrs. Nick Renner of Hutchinson, Kansas, who are touring Southern California, stopped Sunday and spent a few hours here with old-time friends. They make visits to California periodically, and are looking forward to the time when they can come to stay.

Mrs. Warren Ashleigh had charge of the program, and introduced many new games which helped those present to become speedily acquainted. The flute solo rendered by Nells Boege was a wonderful rendition. A mixed quartet composed of Mrs. Pemberton, Mrs. Walter Ross, Glen Merrill and Warren Ashleigh, sang two selections,“Moon Dshore” (Eugene Lockhart), and “Kentucky Babe” (Adam Gerbel). Miss Nellie Grafton gave a piano selection,“Rustle of Spring” (Spencer), and Mrs. Arthur Cohen entertained with two readings which were greatly enjoyed. Warren Ashleigh, with his ready wit, gave two vocal solos which caused every one present to live up and be in fine condition for the songs participated in by all present and led by Mrs. Walter Ross which followed.
Refreshments of cake and coffee were served to sixty guests who enjoyed the evening's entertainment. Guests of honor were Miss Helen Grafton, Mr. and Mrs. F. Siegel, Miss Erbine Hawkins, Miss Ada Wilcox, Miss Naomi Williams, Miss Kate Spotwood and Mrs. W. H. Hubble.

PROBABLY the most picturesque character living here in the early days was City Marshal David Davis, familiarly known as Dye Davis, pioneer gunman, who was handy with his weapon, and declared that he never drew it except to use it, and he used it quickly at that. He filled the office of city marshal for a number of years, and during this time accounted for two desperadoes, and possibly a third, but of this latter incident very little was ever known. He was arrested and charged with the slaying of Officer Charles Lehman, who ran between him and a man named Horton, as they were engaged in a platoel duel, commanding them to observe the peace, and fell fatally wounded.

Discuss Formation Of Junior C. of C.
First Move Made by Young Y's Men Thursday Night
Details of organization and functions of a junior chamber of commerce were explained Thursday night to members of the Young Y's Men's Club, meeting at the Business and Professional Women's Club, by four officers and directors of the Santa Ana Junior Chamber of Commerce, who had been invited to be the club's special guests.
Franklin Howatt, program chairman, explained that there had been considerable discussion in Anaheim, of late, concerning the organization of a junior chamber of commerce and that in many quarters the suggestion had been favorably received. He pointed out that by means of a junior chamber of commerce much very valuable publicity might be secured for the Mother Colony, to offset the vestige of former publicity of a not-so-good character.
He also stressed the point that the young men of Anaheim were anxious to take some part in the development of their community and that this was impossible under the present order of conducting the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Howatt said that it was not possible for the Young Y's Men's Club to form a junior chamber out of the present organization, but he urged the members to spread the gospel, as outlined by the Santa Ana men, with the idea of welding several strong organizations into the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce.
First Santa Ana speaker was Bruce Switzler, who cautioned the Anaheim club that, if a successful organization was to be had, the best leaders must be secured, and the best sort of men must be enlisted under them as members of the more important committees.
Ridley Smith of Santa Ana urged the Anaheim men to form a junior chamber and work hand in hand with the senior organization. That point was also stressed by Robert Fernandez and E. Merle Hussong, who also spoke as representatives of the Santa Ana organization.

He was arrested and charged with the slaying of Officer Charles Lehman, who ran between him and a man named Horton, as they were engaged in a pistol duel, commanding them to observe the peace, and fell fatally wounded. Davis had his preliminary trial here, and was bound over to the higher court in Los Angeles, where he was some months afterward acquitted. He was defended by Frank Ganahl, who had the reputation of being the foremost criminal lawyer in Los Angeles. In private life Davis was courteous and pleasant to those with whom he came in contact, and was very well liked throughout the community. In a gun fight he was transformed into a dangerous man, and the occasions were few when his gun was drawn that he did not use it.
When the old-timers sought to celebrate the victory of the Prussians over the French, in 1870, and set out to build a fire at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets for anvil firing, Davis compelled them to move off the street. One of the old-timers went to Mayor Max Strobel, and obtained a written permit to have the firing on the street, but when this was shown to Davis, he cast it aside with a contemptuous reference and said he would arrest the first man who touched a match to the kindling. A large and powerful man employed by the Dreyfus company declared that he would light the fire, and as he was proceeding so to do, Davis struck him a powerful blow on the head with a heavy walking cane, knocking him unconscious. Instantly there was a great uproar, but Davis stood his ground, and the anvils were moved to private property. Just north of the Bank of America, where the celebration proceeded without further interruption. Joseph Benner-scheldt was very badly burned in the face by a flare-up of the anvils. A shot failed to explode, and as he lifted the upper anvil, while bending over it, the powder ignited and burst into his face. He was confined to a hospital for many weeks. Davis' action brought him the enmity of all the old-timers, and at the succeeding city election he was defeated for marshal by Dick Barham, who carried a big gun himself, and knew how to use it.
Davis' first desperado was a horse thief and highwayman, who had barricaded himself in a log house in Soquel canyon. He had committed many depredations, and the sheriff of Los Angeles county ordered Davis to bring him in dead or alive. A posse of several men was organized and set out for the canyon. On approaching the highwayman's domicile, several rifle shots' greeted the party of officers. They dismounted from their horses, and a long distance rifle duel ensued. The desperado was brought in his body riddled with bullets.
The second man accounted for was

Harry Gatjens Seriously Injured Sunday Morning
Harry Gatjens, 924 Zeyn street, Anaheim, is in the Santa Ana Valley hospital, seriously injured, and Jih Harris, address unknown, and Harry Dalbow, Jevine ranch, are in the Orange county jail, following a head-on collision between an automobile and a motorcycle on the San Diego highway, near Culver's corner, at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
Although Gatjens' condition is said to be serious, it is believed that he will recover.
According to a report of the accident made by officers who investigated, the wheels of the machine, said to have been driven by Harris, buckled, causing the car to dart into the path of the oncoming motorcycle, ridden by Gatjens. The collision resulted.
Harris is being held in jail on a charge of failure to stop and render aid after an accident, and Dalbow, said to be the owner of the machine, is being held for investigation. In a report of the accident made by Dalbow, he said that he was riding in the machine at the time of the accident.
No action against Harris and Dalbow had been taken by officers, pending the outcome of the battle for life that Gatjens is making in the Santa Ana Valley hospital. Gatjens is suffering from a possible fracture of the skull and serious cuts and bruises.
Gatjens was traveling south at the time of the accident, and the machine occupied by the two men was being driven north. The motorcycle was wrecked.
Mrs Florence M. Prather of Anaheim was arraigned Friday on a statutory charge and pleaded not guilty, her trial being set for October 20 in Superior Judge H. G. Ames' court.
Davis' first desperado was a horse thief and highwayman, who had barricaded himself in a log house in Soquel canyon. He had committed many depredations, and the sheriff of Los Angeles county ordered Davis to bring him in dead or alive. A posse of several men was organized and set out for the canyon. On approaching the highwayman's domicile, several rifle shots' greeted the party of officers. They dismounted from their horses, and a long distance rifle duel ensued. The desperado was brought in, his body riddled with bullets.
The second man accounted for was another desperado, who was taken by a posse of officers in Santiago canyon. According to meager reports current about the affair at the time, the man was brought back as far as the crossing of the river at Olive; but here, on account of some mysterious reason, he was said to have made his escape. Whatever became of him no one ever found out.
The third was a man who was shot and fatally wounded by Davis on North Claudina street, a short distance north of Center, one Sunday afternoon. He was charged with many crimes, and when Davis stepped up to arrest him as he was carousing with a number of associates, it was declared that he attempted to draw his gun, when Davis fired several times, inflicting injuries from which he died a few days thereafter. His friends declared that he was not armed at the time. He was carried to a vacant butcher shop on South Los Angeles street, in the rear of the present American Savings Bank building, and was later taken to a hospital.
Davis was engaged in a game of poker with Horton, in a room in the rear-of Goldstein's brewery, on West Center street, a few doors east of the Valencia hotel. They engaged in a fight. Horton stepped out into the rear yard, while Davis walked out in front. They exchanged several pistol shots. Officer Lehman came up, commanding them to observe the peace. He was shot and fatally injured. He was carried to Higgins' drug store, on (Continued on Last Page)
