History of the Connecticut Valley in Massachusetts, 1879.



The French Roman Catholic Church.



The French Roman Catholic Church is one of the finest church edifices in the city; it is brick, with marble trimmings. The old church belonging to this society was burned May 27th, 1875 and 71 persons perished in the flames. The remains of 47 of the victims lie buried in one common grave in the French Catholic cemetery, across the river, in South Hadley.
