But disabled by consumption, he was sent to Holy Cross, Iowa, for the recruiting of his health, and died there almost suddenly, aged 25 or about." Rev. A. Granger, C.S.C., 1869

"Brother Aloysius who died on the twenty fifth of July at Holy Cross, Iowa, fortified by the Sacraments and perfectly resigned to the will of Heaven . . . "
