Read More	October 12, 1881 - The Carroll Herald - Sister Evangelista, so dear to her scholars, and consequently to the parents thereof, died after two weeks suffering at St. Anthony's Institute in this city, Wednesday last at half past nine o'clock. Sister Evangelista came to Carroll towards the end of August, and was teaching a numerous class of the younger children of the parish and city. During even so short a time She had won the most tender affections, which the attending children, and the best of them, could possibly have. During the first stage of her sickness she uttered not the least complaint, and performed the duties of her vocation with admirable assiduity and had held in view continually the object of her calling, until it was found necessary to procure medical help. The sickness was declared typhoid fever in an advanced stage. Painful as her sickness was, she did not complain, faithful to the end to the very Christian vow of abnegation. One thing alone never left her mind, the longing desire, the object of all her aspirations, to be united with her Lord and Savior in this life in order to be with him during eternity. Her sickness as well as her edifying death eulogize more for monastic life than any written book will persuade. The community at large was deeply affected by the loss of so precious a life. At 10 o'clock last Friday the funeral took place from the Institute to the church, where a solemn requiem mass was celebrated by the Rev Father Fendrick, of Arcadia; Rev Drexler, of Independence, deacon; and Rev. Anler, of Mt Carmel, sub-deacon. The ceremonies were very impressive. The coffin was, by request, rather simple but elegant and decorated with three beautiful wreaths of Immortelles. Every detail showed great sadness and mourning. Those present in the church could not restrain their emotion when Rev. Father Urbany, the incumbent pastor, spoke of the Christian qualities of the lamented sister and the regret of the people. The funeral procession formed in the following order from the church to the graveyard: Cross-bearer, parochial school, the Rev. clergy, Fendrich. Wegman, Anler, Drexler, Urbany, then the hearse flanked by the pall-bearers in mourning dress bearing tasly wreaths, the Misses Antonia Keckevoet, Philomena Kniest, Emma Arts, Elizabeth Conley, Mary Hoffman, Mary Hamilton; followed by the congregation who with the preceding were all marching to show special respect to the deceased. There was great sympathy shown the Rev Father Drexler, the brother of the much regretted Sister Evangelista, who was dispatched for and arrived on the morning train of the funeral day, to see his sister in the Franciscan robe, dead, whom he had not seen in the sister's dress alive. He himself was ordained only two months ago, and has not had the pleasure of seeing his good sister at the celebration of his first mass. Contributed by Harriet - Sister M. Evangelista was born Anna Drexler to John (Johann) and Anna Mary (Huesler). She also had two brothers who were Catholic priests in Iowa: Name: Anna Drexler Christening Date: 29 Dec 1856 Christening Place: St. Boniface, Dubuque, New Vienna, Iowa Birth Date: 06 Nov 1856 Father's Name: Joannis Drexler Father's Birthplace: Father's Age: Mother's Name: Annae Mariae Mother's Birthplace: Mother's Age: Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C72332-1 System Origin: Iowa-EASy GS Film number: 1637056 Citing this Record: "Iowa, Births and Christenings, 1830-1950," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XVCX-VX7 : accessed 31 March 2015), Anna Drexler, 29 Dec 1856; citing ; FHL microfilm 1,637,056.
