  • Notes 
    • Schmieder, John, Bro. John came to Canada in the summer of 1861 with Francis Breitkopf with the purpose of taking over the kitchen duties at St. Agatha but he fell ill immediately and at the beginning of 1862 was confined to bed and, as Fr. Eugene, notes in his Diary, prepared for death which came on 22 June, 1862. According to Fr. Eugene he was buried under the shrine of the Sorrowful Mother; strangely, however, there is no record of his funeral in the St. Agatha records nor is there an obituary in the Berliner Journal.
