Ludden, Rev. A. P., Little Falls, was born in Ireland May 16, 1842, and 
studied at Castle Bar and St. Jarlath's College. In 1868 he was ordained 
priest for foreign missions, and was adopted by Cardinal McCloskey. His first 
church work was acting as assistant pastor in Little Falls for seven months. 
He then took charge of Mohawk, Herkimer, Ilion and Frankfort for a time, when 
he was sent to Hamilton where he remained eleven years and three months and 
built two churches and a parochial school and a fine cemetery. He came to 
Little Falls twelve years ago and has accomplished wonders for the Catholic 
cause there. He has paid off a debt of $51,000 with interest of $15,000 and 
has built a school costing $15,000 and a deanery that will cost $18,000 when 
completed.
