Description: Caption reads: "St. Joseph's Catholic Church and College. 3 mi south-east of Somerset on state #13-S. Established 1818." Dominican priest Edward Dominic Fenwick was the first priest at St. Joseph's. The first mass was actually held in the home of Jacob Dittoe in 1808 before the first St. Joseph's church was finished on December 6, 1818. The church was rebuilt several times before the college was constructed in 1853-4. All of the priories were demolished in 1974. It still operates as a Catholic church. View on Ohio Memory.
