The Sunday School was opened in July, 1870. Owing to the discouraging aspect of church affairs, it was recommended by a committee of the diocese, that work here should be suspended for a time, but Mr. Gillogly determined to stay and obtained the consent of the Bishop, to remain for at least a year. In 1871 the site of the present church was purchased, and services were held in an old tannery, on the lot, until 1874, when Mr. J. W. Hammersly, of New York, built the present beautiful little church, in memory of his daughter, Mrs. Livingstone. Mr. Gillogly died in February, 1881, and the present incumbent, the Rev. Samuel S. Unsworth, became the rector. The number of the communicants of the church is at present 95, and the average attendance at the Sunday school is 125. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. St. Joseph's Catholic Church, in Ogden, situated on Fifth Street, between Young and Franklin Streets, was, through efforts of the Very Rev. L. Scanlan, V. F., built in the year 1875, and the members of the parish have, since that time, met for the celebration of public worship in that edifice. After Father Scanlan, the first priest in charge was Father Kieny, and following him, Father Smith, after whom came the present incumbent, Father Cushnahan. Before the church was built, the members of the Catholic communion were using an old building on Fourth Street, above Main, for a place of worship, but since 1875, have occupied their present building continuously.
