Description:
St. Joseph Settlement aka the German Settlement is a rural community of farms on the Marshall-Wetzel County borders, settled by German Catholic immigrants in the 1850s. As Cheryl Harshman says in her e-WV article on the settlement, the church, schoolhouse (now a public library and parish museum), rectory, community building, and cemetery are still the heart of the St. Joseph community.On June 22, 2016, Harshman hosted state folklorist Emily Hilliard on a visit to the settlement, meeting community members Jim and Debbie Frohnapfel and Ray Esteep and visiting the church and cemetery.Learn more via e-WV: https://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/158
