Ozaukee County Churches

St. Nicholas' Church, Dacada, Wis.
(I'm including this church, although the church building is located in Sheboygan County,
the church's cemetery is in Ozaukee County)

The parish of St. Nicholas at Dacada, Sheboygan County, was first established November 25, 1848, at which time the congregation was also given a resident pastory in the person of the Rev. George LAUFHUBER. His successors were the Rev. Fathers DE BECKE, DEISENRIEDER, B. SMEDDING, Michael OBERMUELLER, Hieronymus BERCKMAN, John STUCHY, FUSSEDER, John MEHLMANN, M. RETZER, Herman Joseph MUCKERHEIDE, T. WILLER, Peter SCHWAIGER, August ZAININGER and John HUBER. After him the Rev. Joseph HAMM had charge of this congregation from 1870 to 1892, when the Rev. A.S. LEINER, present incumbent, took charge. The congregation is now composed of about one hundred and fifty-two families, or nine hundred and fifty-five communicants. There is one parochial school connected with this congregation, which has an average attendance of one hundred scholars, who are in charge of three Sisters of St. Francis, from St. Joseph's Convent, Milwaukee. The order of Catholic Knights of Wisconsin has a branch of about forty-five members in the congregation; also the St. Nicholas Benevolent Society, numbering about sixty members, and the Altar Society with about ninety members. This parish is in a very flourishing condition.
