SISTER MARY ALOYSIUS BOSCHEN
"DEATH CASTS A PALL OVER DOMINICAN ORDER.
Sister Mary Aloysius Boschen Dies at the San Rafael Convent.
SAN RAFAEL, July 30. -- A gloom has been cast over the Dominican convent by the death early this morning of Sister Mary Aloysius Boschen who has been connected with the teaching staff for the past twelve years, and because of her beautiful, frank character, was beloved by both pupils and sisters. The deceased was 51 years of age and has suffered from bronchitis for five years past, but it was only during the last two months that the disease to which her death is attributable, became aggravated.
Sister Aloysius, whose real name was Seraphine Boschen, was born in New York, but came to California while a child. She received her education at the public schools in Stockton, St. Katherine's Convent in Benicia and the State Normal School. Professor Randall of the latter institution, looked upon her as his prize pupil and displayed a marked interest in her pedagogic career. Sister Aloysius taught but a short time at a public school, when she entered the convent at Benicia looking upon it as an avenue to a higher life. Mother Louis of the Dominican convent, states that she considered the deceased sister one of the best educators in California. Two sisters survive Sister Aloysius, Mrs. Adams, the wife of a prominent Chicago electrician, and Mrs. Houghton, wife of a professor at a New York university. The funeral will be held at Benicia Saturday, and the remains will be interred with Dominican ritual.
In the death of Sister Mary Aloysius Boschen the Dominican Order has lost one of its most active and zealous members and the cause of Christian education a devoted and learned adherent. Her magnanimous life was closed in a peaceful, holy death. A woman of simple, child like faith, profound learning, the loss of Sister Aloysius is deeply mourned, not only by the members of her community, but by her many pupils, and all who knew and appreciated the qualities of mind and heart which adorned her life as a noble, religious teacher."
