St. Mary's Catholic Church Lycurgus

The blessing of the cornerstone. St. Mary's Lycurgus, ca1913.
This photo is of the blessing/laying of the cornerstone of St. Mary's Lycurgus. It's not terribly clear, but it's a decent photo, and appears to be a photo of a photo. The Whalens of French Creek township attended St. Mary's and the door-frame to the left of the cornerstone is where it is on the present Church. So I presume this would be from about 1912-1913.
