"First School After Enlargement"
Early Catholic Populations
This is the first school to be associated with St. Mary's. Before the large changes in Catholic practice brought by Vatican II in the 1960's, the Vatican mandated that services be executed in Latin. Given the demographics and social histories of those who commonly came to Wooster in its early years, this was not necessarily true of Wooster's Catholic community. The Catholic school then, if not vital for teaching young worshipers Latin, served as a free school for poorer citizens before the dawn of public schools.

"Premium List of the 7th Annual Wayne County Fair"
Wayne County Agricultural Society
An early example of the prizes that would be offered for exhibition placing at the fair, this list reflected current interests regarding agricultural advancement. By incentivizing discovery of the best methods of agricultural practice, the Wayne County Fair has always served the ultimate purpose of advancing and distributing agricultural methods. The pamphlet also evolved quickly into a valuable forum for local businesses to advertise their wares and services.

"The Fire - 1913"
Fire at St. Mary's
The fire that occurred at St. Mary's wrought devastation upon the church. The building was not salvageable and, as a result, St. Mary's congregation became responsible for the $20,000-$30,000 bill to build a new church. Mind you, this is the cost in 1913.
