Brother Edmund Barry
He worked at St. Joseph's College in Bardstown, where Fr. Duerinck mentions him building and whitewashing stone walls. Fr. Van Quickenborne mentions him at the beginning of the Kickapoo Mission as being a famous hand to work, but not used to the Western country. On the steam boat the water of the Missouri made him sick; also, the salt provisions did not agree with him, but he bore all with courage.
