Br. Michael Schraml (1858-1906)

Brother Michael Schraml passed away February 6, 1906.

Brother Michael was born in Bavaria and then came to Atchison to enter the community.  He made his final vows March 25, 1885.  He was placed in charge of the College farm and remained in that position, but for illness, until his death.  He did take rest and treatment at St. Margaret’s Hospital, and at one point, seemed to have regained his strength; however, he contracted pneumonia that hastened his death.  Those students who helped him on the farm held him in high regard.
