Halpin, Rev. James H., Herkimer, was born in Deposit, Broome county, N. Y.,
June 3, 1859. He received his early education in the St. Joseph Parochial 
School and finished at the High School in 1874, and graduated at the Niagara 
University in 1878, afterwards continuing his studies in the Grand Seminary at 
Montreal, P. Q.  Father Halpin was ordained June 3, 1882. He immediately 
thereafter was stationed at Deposit, his home for three months, and from 
September of 1882 to December of 1885 was assistant in St. John's church, 
Albany, N. Y. In December of 1885 he received the Herkimer appointment, which 
has materially increased in prosperity under his able management, the church 
having been increased to twice its capacity and a new parochial residence 
purchased. The cost of St. Peter and St. Paul's church at Frankfort, which he 
erected, was $18,000. This being formerly a part of his district, or an out-
lying mission of Herkimer, was set apart as an independent mission in 1892. 
Father Halpin is of Irish-American parentage.
