Race or Tribe: Bohemian
Notes: Padre Haffenrichter
came to the missions of the Pimeria Alta in 1761 and administered the mission
of Átil. Father
Pauer recorded the following at his burial: "Padre Joseph Haffenrichter,
a native of Wildstein in Noricia, a district of the Kingdom of Bohemia,
died here at San Ignacio on March 7, [1762]. He was born January
10, 1729, and entered the Company of Jesus in the year 1754. He came
to the misssions of the Pimería Alta in the year 1761. He
administered the Mission of Átil, to the west, where he became ill
with fever. Because of this and other unknown symptoms he came to this
Mission seeking relief, which in no way could be provided him. However,
we have hope that in his tender conscience, virtue, zeal, and exemplary
disposition and devotion, coupled with his receiving the Holy Sacraments,
he has found immediate rejoicing with his God. He was buried in this
church on the Epistle side."
