Report of the canonical visitation of various Third Order lay fraternities in the Western United States compiled by Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap., Commissary of the Third Order. Father Joseph notes that the visitation was undertaken despite unfavourable wartime travel conditions and low expectations for robust local rallies. It was affirmed that the most effective strategy to boost church attendance and achieve meaningful results for the Third Order (T.O.) would be to conduct a solemn Triduum for peace with victory under Third Order auspices in parishes where the fraternities were established. Consequently, Father Joseph notified fraternity directors across the Coast and Oregon of the visitation dates, though Directors Adrian Sharkett and Ambrose Brunton from Mendocino County (Ukiah and Fort Bragg) quickly responded that holding a Third Order rally in their area was entirely out of the question. Information on fraternities in various locations are made in the report.

Parish report and historical record for St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Roseburg, Oregon, beginning on 21 January 1912, within a local population centre of 4,400 people. It outlines a chronological timeline of three serving pastors: Father Camillus Killian (1912–1913), Father Edward Walsh (1913–1919), and Father Adrian Sharkett, who was serving from 13 October 1919 to the date of the record. The document logs sacramental statistics, counting 300 parishioners, 138 baptisms, 34 marriages, and 16 converts, while noting that the community has one hospital and an eight-grade parish school staffed by two Sisters of Mercy. Financially, it records a substantial parish debt of $6,750.00 that was advanced and paid by the religious Order but is earmarked to be recollected from the parish itself. Finally, the log tracks regional missionary outreach, identifying the Holy Family Church in Glendale alongside five other regional mission stations – Myrtle Creek, Day’s Creek, Perdue, Yoncalla, Anlauf, and Cleaveland – detailing their distances from Roseburg and noting that they receive priestly visits roughly three times a year, or once a year if a church is nearby.

A clipping of an article reporting on a for a solemn high Mass to honour the Fr. Sebastian Brennan OFM Cap., on his fiftieth anniversary (golden jubilee) of joining the Capuchin Order. During the morning Mass, Father Sebastian renewed his solemn vows, assisted by several other friars including Urban Riordan, Fintan Roche, Adrian Sharkett, and Finbarr O’Callaghan. The celebration drew a procession of all priests from Mendocino and Lake counties, featured congratulatory telegrams from Archbishop Hanna and the Capuchin Provincial Minister.
