| 5 | "Our caring presence is ‘mustard seed’ that lives on" By Father James P. Walker Jesus was superbly poetic. His images kept teaching long after the crowds dispersed and went home. Such was the case with the mustard seed. When the apostles demanded an increase in faith, they must have been puzzled by his response. “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,” he told them, “you would say to this mulberry tree, be uprooted and planted in the sea and it would obey you.” Talk about a stretch of the imagination! The mulberry tree has a hearty and extensive root system. And a small seed is so easily lost, discarded, or just plain overlooked. Its significance is hardly appreciated in a world of flash and splash. The message, however, is that faith is unexpectedly powerful. Our “accomplishments” may well fade with time but our caring presence is a mustard seed of faith that lives on in the hearts of those we love. At 89 Billee Cox is a petite woman of faith with a Gibraltar-like determination to do and be her best. As the seventh child of 16, she learned well the hard lessons of life. Living in a senior community in Pinellas Park, Fla., she loves her church, her friends and family, but don’t dare forget her passion for pinochle. Few can match her. Her days are busy, for sure, but this coming Friday, Oct. 12, she just may pause to remember, as only a mother can, what happened in her far-away home 60 years ago that very day. You see, some anniversaries were never meant for history. Only the heart can hold them and give witness to their beauty. When Billee married Ray Cox in 1940, she instantly became a mother. Ray’s first wife had died of tuberculosis. His son, five-year-old Sonny, had just been diagnosed with tuberculosis of the spine. Billee loved him as she would her very own. By 7 he was in a body cast for a year. But eventually he would go to school with a back brace and the help of the school’s truant officer who picked him up every day. The disease was progressive. And in those days surgery was far too risky. Father George P. Mulroy was bringing Communion to Sonny at home when he popped the question about Sonny’s Confirmation. Since Sonny was unable to go to the mission church in the nearby park, Bishop James A. McFadden, first Bishop of Youngstown, would come to him. Thus it was that on Oct. 12, 1947, at 1:50 p.m. the bishop’s black car pulled up at 430 Grant St. in McDonald. The tiny ranch home held about 30 people that day. A bedroom served as a sacristy. And Sonny was confirmed in the living room. But it wasn’t the regal entrance of a bishop that proved most impressive. It was how Bishop McFadden was so unhurried and so at ease with them. He spoke and spent time with everyone. His presence conveyed a personal caring that touched them all. Afterwards Billee handed the bishop an envelope with an offering of money. Bishop McFadden took it and gave it to the newly-confirmed youth. “Sonny, you can use this,” he said. “I want you to walk again.” An hour and a half after arriving, the bishop and his assistant were gone. But two months later, Sonny’s toes began moving and he was able to walk out on the front porch. The kids in the neighborhood were ecstatic. When Hubert R. “Sonny” Cox died in 1986, by all accounts, he had lived a hard but successful life. And what a blessed life as well. The house at 430 Grant St. and others, too, have different owners these days. Very few recall the name “Sonny Cox.” Such is life. After all, Billee and Ray moved to Florida in 1973. Ray died several years ago, but today a charming and contented widow knows and remembers. And that’s all that matters. | Strohmeyer, Hilda Ann (I71)

| 7 | (Work in progress) On Friday, June 29, 1906 not long after his 75th birthday, the Barnesboro Star ran an article about Jacob. Because it was contemporary, I think it is a good place to start on discovering what we can about him. It read, "Jacob Schirf, of Nicktown, is hale and hardy at age 75. He is a native of Germany. He was orphaned at at "tender age" and worked for $.40 cents a week for a shoemaker. By age 21 he had accumulate $76. At 23 he came to the United States. He worked as a shoemaker at Pittsburgh, having government contracts for two years to make shoes for soldiers in the Civil War. Eventually he moved to Nicktown, where he has lived for 42 years. He is now retired. He reared a family of children." Schlier Jacob was born in Schlier Germany (see his first daughter, Catherine's, baptismal papers). Schlier is a small town in Baden, Germany, not far from Ravensburg. To the north is the Altdorfer Forest, the largest continous forest in Germany. To the south is Lake Constance, seperating Germany from it's neighbors. Weingarten Abbey, although at the time not in Catholic control, was not far away, and it's extensive irrigation canal is throughout the area. Schlier was primarily Catholic despite the changes in the region. Although beautiful and idyllic in appearance. it was a hard period of time for the region. The Napoleonic wars had caused a lot of death in the region. The destruction of land, and industrial infrastracture had made matters worse. Well into the mid 1800s the region struggled with bad crops, famine, and disease. Not long before Jacob's immigration there were early signs of revolution in the region. The idea of a new life, and a stable income, in a new place full of opportunity must have been very exciting. It is easy to understand why he was so determined to leave.
