At thirty years of age, Francis, a farmer, left his native Bavaria for Wisconsin. Almost thirty years later, he joined the Province as a Tertiary and served for thirty-three years at Mt. Calvary.
He washed dishes in the college and in the monastery, swept floors and conscientiously attended to the oil lamps. He was virtuously silent, but always returned a greeting with a warm smile. He was greatly loved and admired by friars and students alike for his saintly simplicity and edifying example.
Francis died at 91 years of age, after 33 years of religious life, and is buried at Mt. Calvary.
