NAVILLETON, FLOYD COUNTY.
St. Mary's Church. ? A few German Catholic families having
settled in that part of Floyd county where now St. Mary's church
stands, made at once preparations to build a log church in the fall of
1844. The following year they completed it, and invited the Rev.
L. Neyron, of New Albany, to visit it. September 8, 1845, Rev.
Father Neyron held service in it the first time, dedicated it, under
the title of the Annunciation, and blessed the cemetery. The
Catholic families at this time, who built the church, were Michael
Naville, Vital Kastner, Xavier Kinberger, a Mr. Stengel and a Mr.
Miller.
