Nazareth Academy
Again, the Angel of Death has called at Nazareth Academy, but this time has taken on of the oldest Sisters.
Sister M. Aloysius Furstenberg, who died early on the morning of January 29, at St. Joseph's Hospital. She had been a patient sufferer for years but has been on duty all the time until last vacation. She has been noted for being a very energetic, self-sacrificing, zealous Religious. She entered Religion at the earl age of eighteen when the community had about a dozen members and endured her share of the hardships of the young community with the same courage and zeal manifested all through her life. For the past thirty-three years she has worked faithfully in her community on several different missions in Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan and Illinois. Her sufferings were intense, but she bore them patiently and wanted no alleviation from pain. Her motto was, "Lord, burn, cut, slash, here; but give me patience and spare me in eternity."
The funeral took place from the Sacred Heart Chapel, Thursday morning with a Solemn High Mass.
Her brother, Rev. M. Furstenberg, O.S.B., was the celebrant, Rev. T. O'Donohoe, deacon; Rev. J. McErlean, sub-deacon, assisted by Rev. J. Hennessey.
After the holy sacrifice of the Mass, a long procession of Sisters and students winded its way to the Nazareth Cemetery where all that was mortal of Sister Aloysius was laid to rest.
Besides her Sisters in Religion, the chief mourners were her mother, sister and two brothers.
The last blessing at the grave was given by her brother, Rev. Father M. Maurice Furstenbeg.
May she rest in peace.
