Image, digital, black & white, Front-nine adults, 2 women and seven men, and two boys standing outside in snow, one man is holding shovel and digging. Parishioners were elated when ground was broken on Thanksgiving Day 1949 for the construction of St. Peter Damian Catholic Church. Rev. Thomas Horne, fifth from right, turns the shovel on that snowy day.
