Born in Switzerland, Anton Henggeler was a shy, unassertive and self-confidence lacking friar. Following his Priesthood Ordination he was assigned to Calvary, where he served as prefect of discipline for several years. He was very kind to the students and universally respected by them because of his sincerity and piety. His next assignment was to St. Francis's parish in Milwaukee. It was there that Friar Bonaventure came down with a cold which developed in pneumonia, from which he died at the tender age of 33, on January 22, 1895, after 15 years of religious life and 8 of priesthood.
