Change of Pastors at St. Joe in Livermore Gazette

Father Ruem mele finished his pastorial duties at St. Jos this week and has been transferred to Arcadia in Carroll county a town of about a thousand inhabitants. He made the trip in an automobile motor ing being one of the enjoyments of his life for a number of years past. It will seem very odd for awhile to not see his familiar figure guiding the machine along the road between Livermore and St. Joseph.
