Memorial ledger of deceased American mission friars

1 p.; typescript

A memorial necrology roster titled ‘Isti sunt Fratres’, listing twenty deceased Capuchin Franciscan friars from the Irish Province who served as missionaries in the United States. The ledger systematically lists biographical and clerical timelines, pairing each friar’s religious name with their secular birth name alongside their year of vestition, ecclesiastical rank, and active years in the American mission field. Spanning death dates from 1925 to 1947, the record tracks their final resting places, including early West Coast regional centres like Ukiah, Santa Inés, Los Angeles, and Bend, as well as repatriated sites in Ireland and South Africa.
