A Brief History of St. Francis

The history of St. Francis dates back to 1867. As pastor of St. Joseph Church, Fr. Joseph Bihn asked for volunteers to help in the work of starting a home for orphaned children and the aged in Tiffin. Four women answered the call, including widow Mrs. Elizabeth (Greiveldinger) Schaefer. This was the beginning of a new order, the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis. Mrs. Schaefer then became Sr. Mary Francis, cofounder and first Mother Superior. The institution was incorporated in 1869. Fr. Bihn purchased some land in Clinton Township. Sr. Mary Francis sold her farm in Seneca Township for $4000 and used the proceeds to help finance the first buildings. On June 3, 1869, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, the first orphans were admitted to the St. Francis Orphanage. By 1878 the Home had grown to 27 sisters, 72 orphans and 23 aged persons.

The Home was located on 400 acres of excellent farmland. The older boys and some brothers of the order tended to the farming. This accounted for the main support of the community. The Home sought to teach the orphans a trade that gives them the ability to function on their own in their adulthood. Their stated goal is to educate the children, instruct them in their religious duties and leave them with the ability to earn their own livelihood.

Tom Hartzell, who was taken in at the St. Francis Orphan’s Asylum February 1, 1884, had many fond memories of his time in the Home. He remembered Sr. Mary Rose Schlereth (1850-1948) who carried him up the stairs to his room at night. He spoke fondly of Fr. Bihn, remembering how he used to say “It does my heart good to see my boys working.”

Another former resident, admitted in 1882 had recollections of her time at the Home. Mrs. Catherine (Councelmann) Boner, 2 sisters and a brother were admitted after the death of their mother. At age 91 Mrs. Boner remembered Fr. Bihn and Sr. Mary Francis. She described them as very strict, but pointed out that it was necessary in those days because so many children were being cared for with only primitive means.

Washing was done with tubs and washboards and ironing with flat irons. They used tin plates and cups and their furniture consisted of handmade tables and benches. Most lights were candles or kerosene lamps, but there were a few gas lights. There was no electricity in any of the buildings. The classes were limited in scope but there was a strong emphasis on religious instruction. The food that stood out in Mrs. Boner’s mind was bread and molasses made from sugar cane raised on the farm.

Christmas also stood out. Mrs. Boner remembered, “I loved the crib, the singing at mass and the children dressed like angels.” It was the one time of year when a few extras were added to their rather plain lives. They always received cookies, popcorn balls, apples and a few simple toys.

St. Francis was like a little world of itself. Most children had few contacts outside the institution and seldom left for visits. Also memorable was the fire which destroyed the original frame convent in 1890.

Fr. Bihn and Sr. Mary Francis both died in 1893. After their deaths the Home suffered a period of relative turmoil. Fr. Seraphim Bauer was then named by the bishop to continue the work.

Also that year Tom Hartzell turned 18. He then made a visit to the home of his father. Harry had remarried in November, 1884 to Catherine Shuff, a housekeeper who was not previously married, but had a son at the age of 16.

Harry was delighted to see his son and offered to let him stay in a room above the outbuilding at the rear of the property. Upon hearing of this offer Catherine insisted that it was just not a practical idea. Tom was devastated. He remembered “I went out behind the grape arbor and cried my eyes out.”

He then returned to St. Francis. Fr. Seraphim, recognizing that Tom could not support himself in the physical trades that were taught at the Home, decided that he required further training. In 1894 Tom was released from St. Francis and sent to the Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, an orphanage and trade school of the time that exists today as a Seminary. There he learned the trades of barber and shoemaker which served him well for the rest of his life.

Tom Hartzell never forgot St. Francis. He returned at least once a month, in later years, to repair the orphan’s shoes. Nearly all of Tom and Rose’s family picnics were held there. His children enjoyed going there to play with the orphans. To Tom Hartzell, an outing to the grounds at St. Francis was very much like a homecoming.

The orphanage remained in operation until 1936. At that time all dependent children were placed in St. Anthony’s Orphanage in Toledo, Ohio, or in foster homes. St. Francis is still in operation today as a home for the aged with the Sisters of St. Francis still in residence there. Some of the old buildings still survive, including the chapel and the convent. A retired priest is kept as it’s chaplain. It was on these same grounds that Tom’s wife eventually died at the age of 99, in 1984, 100 years after Tom was admitted as an orphan.
