Br. Frogeneus

Paul  Brauch was born the son of George and Catherine Margaret Schorg-Brauch on May  29, 1845, in Didelsheim, Mostback, in Baden, Prussia.  He emigrated to the United States and  eventually, at age twenty-four, entered the Novitiate at Carondelet,  Missouri, on February 1, 1869, where he received the robe and the religious  name of Brother Frogeneus.  His first  teaching assignment took him to the elementary classes at the school in Detroit  in 1870.  Eleven years later, he was  assigned at Second Street in New York where he taught and served as  infirmarian.  In the autumn of 1905  incurable cancer was found and Brother Frogeneus was assigned to the  infirmary at Ammendale where he died at the age of sixty, having been a De La  Salle Christian Brother for thirty-six years.
