Jackson Sentinel, June 8, 1893 

Corner Stone Laid 

The corner stone for the Holy Rosary Catholic Church at LaMotte was laid with 
imposing ceremonies last Sunday afternoon. There was a large gathering of 
people and the ceremonies were conducted by twelve priests besides Archbishop 
Hennesey of Dubuque. The edifice is constructed of brick, 108 feet long and 44 
feet in width. The steeple is to be 108 feet high and when completed it will be 
a very large and handsome structure. 
Note: Holy Rosary Catholic Church was closed and sold and the sacramental 
records were transferred to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Maquoketa.
