Rev. Bernard H. Franzer, pastor of St. Anthony's church, of Cincinnati, was born at Carthagena, Ohio, August 26, 1878, and as a youth, attended the district schools in the country (and the public schools of his native place). Later he pursued a course at St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, Ind., and then took a course of study at St. Xavier's College, Cincinnati. This was followed by his theological work at Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West, at Cincinnati, where he was ordained a priest of the Catholic church, June 17, 1905, his first charge being as assistant at Holy Trinity church, Dayton, Ohio, where he remained for five years. He was then appointed pastor of St. Patrick's church, Glenwood, Ohio, remaining in that incumbency for one year and eight months, and then became pastor of St. Nicholas' church, Osgood, Ohio, for six years. November 30, 1918, Father Franzer became pastor of St. Anthony's church, Cincinnati, and still holds that post. This parish was established in 1860, the first pastor being Rev. Mathias Michaels, who was succeeded a few months later by Rev. James Rosswog. The next to come was Rev. W. Eiters, followed in turn by Rev. W. Johaning, Rev. H. Boecker, Rev. Voet, Rev. A. Uhling, Rev. August Meyer, Rev. F. H. Bene and Rev. H. Kues, the last-named having been succeeded by Father Franzer. The present church was built about 1863, and numerous improvements have been made since its erection. There are now 300 families in the parish, accounting for about 1,200 souls. The parish house was erected about the same time as the church, and, like it, has been greatly modernized with the passing of the years. The school was built in 1862, and at this time has 300 pupils, with seven teachers, four Sisters of Notre Dame and three Brothers of Mary.

Rev. Joseph P. De Smedt. During the thirty-three years of his priesthood, Rev. Joseph P. De Smedt, has occupied various charges of importance, as priest and instructor, and for some years past has been pastor of St. Xavier's Catholic church, at Cincinnati. He was born in the city of Brussels, Belgium, September 24, 1857, and there received his early education in the parochial schools, his collegiate, studies being prosecuted at Termonde and Turnout Colleges, in his native land. Coming to the United States in 1874, he entered the Jesuit Novitiate, at Florissant, Mo., and in 1878 began his philosophical studies at Woodstock College, Maryland, and August 27, 1888, was ordained a priest of the Catholic church. His first charge was as pastor of St. Ferdinand's church, Florissant, Mo., where he remained two years, then becoming pastor of St. Peter and St. Paul's (Jesuit) church of Detroit, Mich., where he remained during a like period of time. Following this he was assistant pastor of Holy Family church, Chicago, Ill., for one year, then going to St. Mary's, Kans., where he remained twelve years as pastor of the church of Immaculate Conception. For six years after returning from Kansas, he was assistant pastor at St. Xavier's church, Cincinnati, then being appointed spiritual father of Detroit (Mich.) University, an incumbency which he retained for two years. From that charge he returned to Cincinnati in 1918 to become pastor of St. Xavier's church, a post which he has since retained. He has as assistants Fathers Martin Bronsgeest, Francis J. Finn, Michael Ryan and Francis Cororan. By his tireless industry, zeal and devotion to his work, Father De Smedt has won the love, confidence and respect of all with whom he has come into contact.
