Excerpt from The Catholic Red Book of Western Maryland: Including Cumberland, Frostburg, Lonaconing, Mt; Savage, Midland, Westernport, Barton, Hagerstown, Hancock, Frederick and Oakland Joseph Melchoir, the first of eight children, was sent as a small boy to the little village school, in which only the rudimentary branches were taught. He soon attracted the attention of the parish priest of the village, whose Mass he served every morning, and from him he received his first lessons in Latin. The archpriest of Riese, noticing in the small boy the incipient signs of a vocation to the priesthood, and wishing to direct his steps toward the sanctuary, prevailed on Joseph´s father to make the necessary sacrifices, and, at the age of eleven, he was sent to the college at Castelfranco Veneto, about five miles from Riese. Having completed, with marked success, his studies at the college of Castelfranco, his good father, allowing him to follow his vocation. Permitted him to enter the seminary at Padua. During the entire course of his eight years of study in the seminary, he continued to give evident proofs of the pious training he had received from his good parents, and by his conscientious application to study, assisted by a natural quickness of mind. He soon ranked amongst the first in his class. On the 4th of May, 1852, just as he was about to commence his philosophical studies, his father died, and it seemed that he would be forced to give up for a while his studies and return to his home in Riese to assist his poor mother; however, through the kindness of the arch priest of Riese, and the Patriarch of Venice, Monsignor Monico. He obtained a free scholarship and was able to go on with his seminary course. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
