St. Paul's Cathedral (Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

Joshua Sweet, the Episcopal priest for the village of Fond du Lac, formally organized St. Paul's Church.

These Episcopalians first worshiped in a variety of makeshift locations until in 1851 a wood-frame building was erected at the corner of Follett and Bannister {Macy} streets.

Early acquisitions were a pulpit (created by local stone carver Robert Powrie), a brass eagle lectern, and the German-Victorian carvings from 1893 to 1894.

His institution at St. Paul's was notorious due to his public advocacy of Socialism,[2] though he had quit the party years prior to government investigation in 1920.

It was Bishop Grafton's request that he be buried in the cathedral, so in the year following his death on August 30, 1912, the area known as the Chapel of St. Michael the Archangel was redone.
