FATHER FINTAN HOLZKNECHT  SDS   cemetery #23

Born August 16, 1885 - Died November 30, 1959
Father Fintan Holzknecht (birth name: Francis) was born in 1885 in Wuerzburg, Bavaria. 
He entered the Society and began his studies for the priesthood in 1903 in Tivoli, 
Italy. After completing his Novitiate year, he made his profession of vows on October 4, 
1906. He studied at the Gregorian University in Rome and was ordained to the priesthood 
there on July 9, 1911. Shortly after ordination, Fr. Fintan was sent to the United 
States and he taught in the seminary in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin for a short time. After 
that, he devoted most of his priestly life to parish work and hospital chaplaincy. Over 
the course of thirty years, he served as pastor of the parishes in Alverno, near 
Manitowoc, in Charlestown, and in St. Nazianz. He was especially loved by the 
parishioners of St. Gregory’s Parish in St. Nazianz, where he was pastor for twenty-two 
years. Fr. Fintan was a zealous and holy priest with a reputation for being an 
outstanding preacher, and he possessed a deep voice that would resonate in the church 
when he would preach or sing at Mass and Benediction. In late 1950, Fr. Fintan became 
chaplain of Holy Family Hospital in Manitowoc. While it was difficult for him to 
relinquish the pastorate of St. Gregory’s Parish after so many years and begin a new 
ministry, he overcame his own personal desires and devoted himself to the spiritual 
welfare of the sick with great energy and dedication. After a lingering battle with 
cancer, he died on November 30, 1959, and was buried in the community cemetery on 
Loretto Hill.
*********
The Rev. Fintan Holzknecht, S.D.S., 74, of St. Nazianz Salvatorian Seminary, died

Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at St. Gregory Catholic Church, St.
Nazianz. The Office of the Dead will be recited before the requiem high Mass.
Burial will be in the Salvatorian Seminary Cemetery.
The Rev. Mr. Holzknecht was born August 16, 1885, at Wurzburg, Germany, son of
the late Francis and Margaret Holzknecht. He was ordained a priest July 9, 1911,
and came to St. Nazianz Aug. 18 of that year. For many years, Father Holzknecht
served parishes at Alverno and Charlestown, and from 1927 to 1949 served in his
capacity at St. Gregory Catholic Church. He also was chaplain of Holy Family
Hospital, Manitowoc, from 1952 until 1958.
Surviving is a sister, Miss Mary of Amberg, Bavaria, Germany.
Friends may call at the Seminary after 5 o'clock this Tuesday evening until

Sad Death Brings Sorrow to Family
Relatives and friends were shocked upon learning of the sudden death

Mrs. Howell's father, August F. Neumann, on Tuesday afternoon. Death

as stenographer at the office of the Kiel Cheese & Butter Co., after

Wright, who passed away several years ago. January 1, 1924, she was 
married to Thomas J. Howells at Chicago, where the couple have since 
made their home. Mrs. Howells was a high type of womanhood and her many 
virtues were recognized by everyone who knew her. Her death is a sad 
blow to her husband, parents, brothers and sister.
Deceased is survived by her husband, her parents, two brothers, Walter 
of Milwaukee and Hugo of Kiel, and one sister, Mrs. H. F. Arps of Chilton.
The remains will be shipped to Kiel on Thursday, and funeral services will 
take place at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. August F. Neumann. Rev. 
Wm. Rech will officiate at the home, and the Order of the Eastern Star of
