THE ST. MARTIN’S CATHOLIC CHURCH-The St. Martin’s Catholic Church was built in 1870, and is now the oldest church standing in this city. From 1862 to 1869 Rev. Edward Delahunt held services at the homes of Michael Barrett and Michael Flynn at what is now known as Milligantown and at the home of Martin Cogley in the old B. & O. house, which is still standing near the present stock yards. It was during the pastorate of Rev. Father Delahunte that the St. Martin’s Cemetery was bought and laid out. An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Cogley was the first to be buried in this cemetery.
In 1869-1870 Rev. Dan V. Collins succeeded Father Delahunte to the charge, and at this time the present church was built at an approximate cost of $10,000.00.
Among the first members were Martin Cogley, father of Mrs. Thomas Hopkins, the Hemricks, the Flynns, the Murphys, Michael Barrett, the Corcorans, the Finnegans and the Fergusons, who now reside at Glen Easton. Mrs. Bridget Corcoran, who was one of the charter members of the church, is still living and resides on North Avenue.
In 1920 the church was remodeled at a cost of $1,000.00.
The present membership is about one hundred fifty. The church services are held every Sunday and on all Feast Days by Rev. Father C. T. Kluser, who serves both the Cameron and Littleton Churches. The Altar Society is one of the outstanding societies of the church and is composed of the women of the church.
The following is the list of all the pastors since the organization of the church:

1868-1872 Rev. Dan V. Collins

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS-Cameron Lodge No. 21, Knights of Pythias, was given a charter under the date of October 11, 1893, when W. T.

Allum, Edward Anderson, Will J. Booher, William A. Boerner, Frank F. Boerner, John J. Barrett, John G. Crawford, Jesse Clark, Thomas L. Davis, Jerry A. Fitzgerald, Henry Helreigle, Charles H.
