Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Egglemers was educated in the seminary of Haaren in Holland where he was born and raised. Five years ago at Bishop George Aloysius Carrell's request he came to Covington with a priest whom Lefevere sent to Egglemer's seminary to "collect" priests. For 8 months Bishop Carrell taught him English, when he took charge of the congregation and college, taught theology and scripture to 3 seminarians, to study divinity and to teach the boys. After 3 years Egglemers was moved to Lexington. Father Benkers Bekkers, secretary to Bishop Martin John Spalding of Louisville, applied to Carrell to be received and Carrell placed him in Lexington. Egglemers was moved to the Cathedral. Egglemers is not satisfied and offers himself to Lefevere as he understands there is a great shortage of priests in the Detroit diocese. As he has no debts, Carrell will not object. Egglemers is so disposed at present that he would sooner go back to Europe than to remain here. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
