Death of Dean Binsfeld, S.M.
By telegraphic message received on Monday, we are informed of the death of the Very Rev. Dean Binsfeld, a veteran member of the Society of Mary, and a pioneer missionary priest of New Zealand, which occurred at St. Mary’s Novitiate and House of Studies at Greenmeadows, Hawke’s Bay. The deceased priest, whose career as a church builder is well known, accomplished marvellous work in many parishes of the Dominion, including those of the West Coast in the stirring early days, was born in Luxemburg on May 12, 1834, and made his profession in the Society of Mary on June 24, 1861. Owing to Anzac Day (a close holiday) falling on our usual publishing date we are obliged this week to go to press a day earlier, and, as a consequence, are compelled to hold over an account of Dean Binsfeld’s obsequies which will not reach us in time. —May his soul rest in peace.
