"William Joseph Ogden was born January 8, 1904 in Nauvoo, Illinois. He attended day school at Spalding before the family moved to Seattle. He was an honor student at Seattle College (later Seattle University), earning the gold medal as first honor pupil of his class for four straight years, but did not take part in his graduating exercises because his father was killed the day before. He later studied for the priesthood in Washington, D.C. and was ordained there June 10, 1930 at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. He said his first mass in Nauvoo at the Saints Peter and Paul's Church in Nauvoo. It was printed in the paper, "There was special singing by the choir and Merrill Ogden, brother of the newly ordained priest, sang several solos." Fr. Bill taught there in the Seminary of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Moving back to Seattle, he served as associate pastor at St. Benedict parish in Seattle from 1930-1933, before being transferred to Holy Angels Juniorate in Buffalo, N.Y. and at the Minor Seminary for five years in the Scholasticate, was the director and taught English, Moral Theology and Canon Law from 1933-1936. Other assignments includedd pastor of St. John the Baptist parish in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and chaplain at Niery Hospital in Davenport, Iowa. Fr. Bill served as an associate at St. Patrick parish in Tacoma; St. Benedict's, Seatttle; St. Anthony, Wenatchee; and Holy Rosary, Seattle. From November 1948 until January 1952, he was administrator of Immaculate Conception parish, Arlington, WA. His first pastorate was at St. Cecila parish (from June 1955- November 1961). Susequent pastorates were at Our Lady of Good Help, Hoquiam (November 1961-April 1970), and St. Joseph, Elma (April 1970-March 1972). He was chplain at the former Dominican House, Issaquah, WA before moving to Josephinum. Father Bill was a Faithful Friar, Forth Degree Knights of Columbus, Aberdeen; and chplain to KC Council 1974 of Hoquiam.
Fr. Bill celebrated his Golden Jubilee as a priest on June 8, 1980 with an 11:00 a.m. mass at St. Benedict's church in Seattle. Merrill and Bill (his nephews) gave the readings during mass. It was followed by a reception in the school auditorium. Sis (Julia Barry Ogden) pored coffee, Mary Leik, a family friend from early St. Benedict days, poured tea, Barbara (grand neice, Ogden) and Julie (grand neice, Pavlicek) poured punch, and Pat (neice, Ogden Pavlicek Moore) cut the cake. Of great help was Abigail Leik Pillsbury, also from the early St. Benedict days. Later, at 4:30 p.m., we served a buffet at our house (Merrill, Jr. and Doris Larsen Ogden) at our hor for several of his close friends from around the state and parishioners from St. Ceclia's and of course family.
Fr. Bill loved to play golf and played every chance he got. He played violin at Seattle College, and with a popular dance band, which I can't remember the name of! On Wednesday's for several years, he was at our home for dinner. We had many interesting conversations re religion, as I was raised in the Lutheran Church. He was a priest from the very old school, and a very strict conservative....he didn't like the switch from Latin to English mass. As he thought much of what was being taught at the time was heresy, he started a catechism class for Barbara (Ogden), Steve (Ogden), Erin (Kinsella), Marty (Kinsella), Barry (Kinsella), and two other children, one week at our home (Merrill, Jr. and Doris Larsen Ogden) and the next at Mary Ann's (Ogden Kinsella). At about the age of 65 he was diagnosed with emphysema. Sometime in the early 1980's he moved to St. Vincent DePaul Nursing Home in West Seattle. We visited him there several times, sometimes taking him out for luch or dinner. He died August 10, 1984 and had a funeral mass sug at St. Benedicts and also in Nauvoo, where he is buried in the St.'s Peter and Paul Cemetery." By Doris Larsen Ogden
"Honor Student's Chair Vacant --- Father, Hope Realized, Killed --- William Ogden, 18 years old, 1227 N. 48th St., who for four years straight won the gold medal as first honor pupil of his class at The Seattle College and his fouf medals, with fifth, the grand prize given by Bishop Edward J. O'Dea. Young Ogden's medals were pinned on a vacant chair because his father was killed the day before commencement. --- William Ogden Unable to Attend Graduating Exercises at Seattle College Because of Bereavement. --- First honors at the graduating exercises when twenty graduates of the Seattle College received their diplomas last week, were pinned on a vacant chair -- that of William Ogden, 18 years old, 1227 N. 48th St. His father was killed the day before he was to have received the honors. Throughout his four years in the college, William has studied chiefly because his pal--for that was what his dad meant to him--wanted him to be "first in his class." For three years straight, William Ogden Sr., as the proudest man in Seattle, watched his son win the gold medals offered each class each year for first honors. Together father and son talked about and worked together for the final honors, the Bishop Edward J. O'Dea medal. Pitcher for his team, young Ogden played last week and his father went along to witness the game. The Seattle College twirler won his game and the happy father was en route home, when five miles this side of Everett, he sptopped his car to inquire about other members of the party who were slow in coming. He was run down by another automobile and died within minutes. Young Ogden could not attend the graduating exercises. He knew his father could not attend and for him the prizes meant but little. So his chair was left vacant. Four years of college with no mark less than "excellent"! It's a record for the Seattle College that has never been equaled. Today the prize winner is en route to Nauvoo, Ill., where his father will be buried. Upon his return to Seattle he will enter a special class at the Seattle College and will receive his first year's training for the priesthood, carrying out the wishes of his pal and father."

"YOUNG PRIEST READS MASS IN NAUVOO --- Nauvoo, Ill., June 16.--Rev William Ogden read his first mass at the Catholic church sunday morning. The young priest with Father Tholen, two Franciscaon priests of Quincy, three acolytes, cousins of the young priest, and twelve altar boys marched from the rectory to the church at 10 o'clock where his first mass was celebrated by the lately ordained priest. Father Tholen acted as master of ceremonies, while the two Quincy priests acted as deacon and subdeacon respectively. Father Tholen preached as excellent and appropriate sermon for the occation. The choir sang Leonard's mass in B flat. The church was filled, many being required to stand. Father Ogden comes from a well known family of this vicinity. On his mother's side he comes from the pioneer stock of Moffitts, who were among the first settlers of Hancock county. From the father's side he is a descendant of James Ogden also a pioneer of this county and a prominent citizen. His grandmother on his father's side was a sister to the late Judge John B. Risse. He is ordained as an oblate priest, and will probably be stationed in Seatttle, Washington, where the Ogden family formerly lived. The father was a carpenter and met his death in an accident in Seattle some years ago. A big reception was given the young priest at the parish hall on Sunday evening. He was greeted by many of his former acquaintances, who were school mates with him when he attended the Catholic schools here. Many of his relatives from aboard were here to attend the celebration of his first mass by Father Ogden. The Moffitt and Ogden families are very large and they by themselves made a large audience. All wished the young priest success in his station in the sacred priesthood." Nauvoo, Illinois, June 1930.

William A. Moffitt, Sr. was born in Nauvoo, Illinois on December 23, 1885. He attended the one room schoolhouse in Nauvoo. His brother-in-law, William Ogden, a master carpenter, was in Minot, North Dakota working on a construction job. William Moffitt, Sr. went to Minot. One day he was skating and saw Marie Solien who was also skating. He must have liked what he saw because he asked her brother, Noel Solien, to introduce him to her.Marie Solien was born on June 4, 1886 in Stoughton, Wisconsin. She attended the state teachers college in Madison, Wisconsin and taught primary grades in Stoughton and later in Minot, North Dakota, when she moved there with her family.
Their courtship, which lasted for several years, was not an easy one. The construction job ended, but of greater importance was the fact that Marie's parents were opposed to any plans for marriage. He was not a Norrwegian and he practiced the wrong religion.
Despite the parental opposition, Marie Solien came to St. Louis and the couple were married on June 19, 1918. A son, William A. Moffitt, Jr. was born June 19, 1919.
To support his family, William A. Moffitt, Sr. had a small business which he called the Shave Easy Company. He sold straight razors, barber supplies and leather goods. He developed a product for treating strops used to sharped straight razors. To demonstate the sharpness of a razor he would stand in the window of his store, pull a hair from his head, and then proceed to shave that hair with a straight razor repeatedly.
Unfortunately Gillette and other companies manufactured safety razors. The use of straight razors diminished the market for the Shave Easy Company altough it continued to have a loyal following until William A. Moffitt, Sr. closed his shop.
To meet the changing market William Moffitt, Sr. became a self-taught locksmith and the One Minute Key Company was born. Both businesses continued to be operated out of the small shop on Pine Street in downtown St. Louis. William A. Moffitt, Sr. was active seeing that key shops were unionized, and he became a member of the Machinists Union.
When World War II resulted in an increasing shortage of metal for key blanks, William A. Moffitt, Sr., because he was a member of the machinists union, was able to find work as a machinist in the bottling plant of Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, where he was when he was sevety two and one half years old.
Both William A. Moffitt, Sr. and Marie Solien Moffitt were devoted and loving parents and grandparents. On the day his daughter-in-law delivered twin boys, William A. Moffitt, Sr. started up the steps to their apartment. His wife called down to him: "Delores had two boys." He at once turned around and started for the door. "Where are you going?" "I have to get cigars to take to work tomorrow."
Marie Solien Moffitt dropped dead on the street in downtown St. Louis while Christmas shopping on December 16, 1963. William A. Moffitt, Sr. died November 16, 1964 after a series of small strokes. He loved to sing and dance. He was in the finest sense of the word a gentle man.

St. Louis, Missouri September 6, 1962
Dear Noel and Evva:
I hope this will not be too much of a shock to both of you, but I hope you will recover. I don't know when I have written a letter but as you were going to hang your key on the wall and just talk I thought perhaps you should have just a few facts about the little old inland town of Nauvoo on the banks of the Old Mississippi where I and my older brother Ted went fishing to supply some 15 people of the Thomas N. Moffitt family with food during the summer months. When we were not fishing we were hunting squirrels with our old dog Rover, a wonderful squirrel dog, which we thought was the best in the country; but he was out in the field with us one day where we were putting up hay and he strayed down in a weed patch, but he was a terror on snakes, but this happened to be the wrong day for him. We heard him bark once and knew he had a snake, but the snake to my sorrow got him. For when we got to the house that evening his head was almost twice its original size. We poured whiskey down him and did whatever we knew what to do but the next morning I got up real early hoping to find him O.K., but there he was with his head stuck in the straw stack. That was all for poor Old Rover, and I cried I guess for a week, but we never had another Rover, and it wasn't any fun to hunt squirrels any more.
I think Marie sent you a letter trying to explain about the Mormons, but I don't believe she knows too much about them so I thought I would tell a few facts about those days around 1820.
About the key I sent you I have always been awfully sorry that I haven't any papers on this all I have is what I remember father told me. My father was deaf from the time he was about 18, so it made it awfully hard to talk to him, but I have a land grant issued on sheep skin signed by Martin Van Buren then President of the U.S. in 1840. Now my grandfather came to this Country from Ireland and settled on this land because of the wonderful timber on it as there was no building material to be had. So they went into the timber and cut down tree after tree and started to builda a house, and I am awfully sorry that this house was not preserved as a land mark for I think this house was the oldest house in that part of the country. The logs in it were all hand hewn by a distant cousin of my grandfather by the name of Lyman Beecher. Of course, there was no cement so I think they used red clay to plaster up the crackes between the logs. And that is where I was born and raised and my father and mother and the thirteen children were raised along with my grandfather, for he had bad luck. He and his wife had my father and a girl, but his wife died in childbirth when the girl was born. So that left him with two small children. But he never married again and when my dad married, then in later years he came to live with us.
I started this September 6, 62 and now it is October 2, 62. It has taken me quite a spell to finish it. Continued from page three. So you see we had quite a family in the Log House, 13 children my father and my mother and my grandfather.
Now getting back to a few facts about the Mormons. My grandfather had .6 acres of Apple Orchard on the farm and they would pack the apples in barrels and haul them into the Mississippi landing in Nauvoo where they would be loaded on boats and shipped to New Orleans, for river transportation was the only way to get in and out of Nauvoo unless you wanted to go somewhere in a lumber wagon, which I did many times.
At that time the population of Nauvoo was much greater than Chicago. I do not know what the exact population was but it was quite large, and a lot of them were Mormons, some of whom I have been told were big husky fellows who were not too fond of work. They seemed to think that everybody owed them a living, and thats one reason the people in Nauvoo got together and drove them out of the city. They crossed the river in boats and landed in Iowa, but I think it was on the third night after they left that they came back across the river and burned down the temple. In the meantime, I haven't any dates, but during this uprising the crowd captured Hiram and Joseph Smith and put them in jail at Carthage, the county seat of Hancock County. And a few days later a crowd went to county jail after the Smith boys and Joseph Smith was standing in one of the windows ready to jump when one of the mem shot him while standing in the window. For years they never knew what they had done with his body, but years after they located what they believe was his grave down close to the river front in Nauvoo.
My dad told me a number of times that during apple harvest time there would be 10 or 12 big husky fellows drive out in a wagon and go right into the orchard and help themselves to all the apples they could haul away for my father and grandfather were helpless to do anything about it. So you see there were lots of reasons for the uprising against them.
And for the key the only information I have is what my father told us, that there were three elders to the temple and each one was supposed to have a key supposedly so that no one could lock the other out. The key that I have is supposed to be the smallest of the three keys.
The latter Day Saints, as they call themselves, now are buying up all the property they can buy and at the present time are working trying to find the old foundation of the temple that was destroyed. I think I have a couple of issues of a weekly newspaper published in Nauvoo which had some pictures of them digging trying to locate the original foundation.
Well, Noel, this is a terrible letter with one mistake after another, but I hope you get a little kick out of it.
Lots of love to both of you and Evva and her mother.

LARGE CLASS CONFIRMED AT ST. JUDE'S CHURCH SUNDAY
St. Jude Thaddeus church on Thursday was the scene of the largest confirmation class in the history of the parish. One hundred sixty three candidates received from the hands of Archbishop Lenihan, the Sacrament of Confirmation. The ceremony was preceded by an examination of the candidates by the Archbishop. Questions were asked from the Catechism of Christian Doctrine. The little book is the summary of the Distrine of the Catholic church. It contains principally what is taught in the Bible. It is the Bible simplified and classified, so as to be made clear and easy, even to the youngest children.
After the examination the Archbishop gave a talkt o the congregation on the nature and effects of this Sacrament and the importance of its reception. Following the talk the Sacrament was conferred.
This Sacrament is a very ancient rite in the Catholic church. I has been conferred from the earliest ages on the members of the church. It has always been conferred by a Bishop, exclusively, except in remote regions where a Bishop was not stationed. In these places a Priest is sometimes empowered by the Pope to confer the Sacrament. It consists of a prayer invoking the aid of the Holy Spirit as the Bishop extends his hands over those who are to be confirmed. The the forehead of each candidate is anointed by the Bishop in the form of a cross with a mixture of holy oil and balm, which is previously consecrated on Holy Thursday by the Bishop.
The following is a list of those who were confirmed:
