Title

St. Patrick (Hampton, Iowa)

Description

"Probably no other parish in the nation can claim the distinction of Saint Patrick Parish at Hampton. For three years it was served by two priests who were father and son, Father Patrick J. Norton and his son, Father Claude B. Norton. Hampton is the county seat of Franklin County and the crossroads of two important highways. The first Mass was celebrated there in 1870 by Father Peter J. O’Dowd, who traveled by horseback from Ackley. Gathered for Mass in the Stephen Murphy home were the families of Timothy Flynn, Owen Johnson, James Keefe, William Keefe, Patrick Monehan, Bernard McSwiggen, Stephen O’Dowd, and Patrick Rellihen."
