Survey made 1994 by Paige and Polly Miller
Taken from Crittenden County History
by Margaret Woolfolk:
First Catholic Mass celebrated at Crawfordsville by the Rev. J. O’Niel Doyle of Osceola at the J. T. Haden home which
continued to be used for services for about 4 years. Father Meigham came
from Little Rock, Ark. in 1913 to serve Catholics as Pastor, under whose
direction a small frame Church was erected on the Haden property on east side
of Main Street, North of Bay Ferry Road in summer 1915. It was dedicated by Bishop John D. Morris,
Nov. 7, 1815. Adjacent to the edifice
was a church cemetery which is today known as the Haden Cemetery. This building burned in June 1946.
