- A rigger or slinger is a skilled tradesperson who specializes in the assistance of manual mechanical advantage device comprising pulley, block and tackle or motorised such as a crane or derrick or chain hoists (chain fall) or capstan winch.
Slovak Laborers coming to America:
By 1889 there were about 35,000 acres of land with available coal deposits and 15,000 coke ovens under the management of Henry Clay Frick, and when he merged with Andrew Carnegie’s steel works in that year, their combined industry employed 30,000 workers.
A giant industry of this kind welcomed Slovak laborers and a newly arrived immigrant welcomed the opportunity to be hired. Even if he was just a “yard laborer,” one of the lowest paid employees here in 1890, he earned $1.40 for a 10-hour day and he could hope to improve his standing and his earnings. A “road-man” made maximum earnings of $2.10 for a 9-hour day. His take-home pay every two weeks averaged $16 to $25. It must be remembered, however, that this was in a day when one could buy a pound of soup meat for 3 cents, a fairly good suit of clothes for $6, and a pair of shoes for $2.
The steel plants of Youngstown and the industrial shops and iron works in Akron and Cleveland attracted many Slovaks to Ohio. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Illinois similarly offered employment in industry, business, railroad building and private enterprise.

- The first resident pastor was Rev. Joseph Ptasinski, who served from 1903-1904. He was succeeded by three other priests -- Rev. Julius Kitter (April-October 1904), Rev. Ladislas Necid (October 1904-November 1907); and Rev. Joseph Adamek (November 1907-November 1908). These priests left for a variety of reasons, including lack of fluency in the Slovak language, disenchantment with life in America, and transfer to another, larger parish.
- Nativity Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church; Presided by Rev Ladislas Necid
