Born Barbara Daleiden (above), the daughter of Christopher and Margaret (Weiland) Daleiden, Sister M. Philippina Daleiden, PHJC, was a sister of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ at the Ancilla Domini Convent located in Donelson (Plymouth County) Indiana, where she died at age 60. She was a nurse, and served at St. Mary’s Hospital in Superior, Wisconsin, during the 1920s.
Sister Daleiden is buried at the Mount Carmel Cemetery in Donelson (Marshall County) Indiana. She died on the 5th of July in 1930. I located a photography of my Grandfather Frank J. Schlick and his brother Albert Schlick in Indiana at the time of the funeral and burial of Sister Daleiden. One photo (below) is of the Convent in 1930 in Donelson Indiana.
The photos below are taken at the Convent and the Mount Carmel Cemetery. One shows a grave digger preparing a grave that my Grandfather Frank Schlick had taken. I remember my Grandfather had an interest and fascination with funeral homes and mortuary science.
Frank Schlick is on the right and his younger brother Albert is on the left. This photo was taken in 1930 around the time of Sister Daleiden’s death in Donelson Indiana at the Convent of the Nuns of the Poor Handmaidens of Jesus Christ.
Frank (right) and Albert (left) at the Convent note this is taken near their automobile. This is a two hour 118 mile journey today via our current interstate system. In the 1930s it may have taken them longer due to the road conditions at the time.
