Father Jerome Faller passed away July 17, 1895.

Father Jerome Aloysius Faller was a cleric who died shortly after entering the community. In The Abbey News (Vol 3, #6) there is an article on Father Lawrence Theis with the following statement, “One of the young monks of St. Benedict’s, Frater Aloysius (sic) Faller, a native of Chicago, died while Frater Lawrence was in Chicago. He had become ill in Atchison and had gone home to die. Fr. Aloysius’ grave is in the community cemetery.”
