Rev. Father Charles, o. NJ. Cap, Fri
day evening, March 5.
The deceased was born March II,
1859, at Largenbruecken, Baden, and
came to the United States at an early
age, to join the Capuchin Order of
st. Francis at Pittsburgh, Pa. He
made his theological studies prepar-
atory to ordination in the seminary of
his Order in Cumberland, Maryland,
and was ordained to the Priesthood
by Cardinal Gibbons, December 20,
1884.
From that time on for period of
over 35 years he devoted himself with
great energy ard equal success to the
works of the Catholic ministry in var
ious parishes of Pennsylvania, Ill
inois, Maryland, Ohio and Kansas.
He was also repeatedly called upon
to preside over the religious commun-
tiles of the Pennsylvania Province
of Capuchin Fathers, and from 1903
1906 was chosen Provincial Superior.
After his term of Office he went to
Rome to attend the General Chapter
of the Order.
From 1909 to 1912 he was pastor
of st. Joseph's church, Hays, and in
that capacity as well as in other do
cesan Offices he was identified with
works of ecclesiastical and civic pro-
gress in this community.
The last few years found him in
failing health, but in spite of physical
sufferings he still made himself use
ful by devoting his spare time to his
hobby of binding books, in which
avocation he had become quite pro-
fcient.
The funeral which took place Mon
day morning, was one of the largest
ever held in Hays. At 10 o'clock
solemn Highmass of Requiem was
celebrated by Rev. FIR. Ignatius, as
sisted by Rev. Fathers Pancras and
Justin
Father Maher of Salina, the we'll
known orator, and a warm personal
friend of the deceased, preached
touching sermon on this occasion,
when he pictured the life and self
denial and sacrifice led by the de-
parted. FIR. Cassian, Director of
Hays College, also spoke with feeling
upon the career of his fellow-religions
| and in particular recourted the la
bours taken upon himself by the de-
ceased in behalf of st. Joseph's con-
gregation.
Amid the last beautiful rites Of the
church, the body was laid to rest in
ST. Joseph's cemetery, accompanied
thither by over thirty of the diocesan
clergy and a large concourse of peo-
pie from Hays and surrounding terri
tory. R. 1. P.
