REV. JOSEPH SCHLATTERER.
    Rev. Joseph Schlatterer, pastor of the Holy Rosary Catholic church at
Stuttgart, was born in Baden, Germany, in 1853. He studied for the priesthood at
the theological seminary of Freiburg, Germany, and was ordained by Bishop Kubel.
His first pastorate was in Baden and later he was transferred to Offenburg,
while subsequently he labored as a priest at Constance.

    It was in 1900 that Father Schlatterer came to Arkansas and took up his
anode at Pocahontas as successor to the Rev. Father Sattele. He also held a
pastorate at Knobel, Clay county, and largely through his influence many German
farmers went to that locality and settled. In 1910 Father Schlatterer was
assigned to the pastorate of the Holy Rosary Catholic church at Stuttgart, a
church that was founded about twenty-five years ago and had previously been
served by Rev. P. J. McCormick, Rev. J. Plamondon and Rev. J. McQuaid in turn.
The parochial school conducted in connection with the church is taught by the
Benedictine Sisters and has sixty pupils. There are about eighty-two families
that worship at the Holy Rosary church and the work of the church has been
thoroughly systematized and is being efficiently carried on under the guidance
of Father Schlatterer.
