Description
“During Father Kelly’s pastorate the people of Forest City also decided to build a church. Just before the church was completed, Father James P. Taken was appointed pastor of Forest City and Lake Mills with his residence in Forest City. Father Taken roomed in the Anderson Hotel until a rectory could be built in Forest City. Father Taken was caring for the Catholics at Armstrong, Bristol, Buffalo Center, Forest City, Lake Mills, Northwood, and Thompson during his seven years as pastor.”
