Br. Leander Joseph

Born in  1842 in England, Daniel Keating emigrated to the United States where he  entered the Novitiate in New York at Second Street on August 7, 1867.  The next day he was followed by his  brother.  Daniel was twenty-five years  old when he entered and received the religious name of Brother Leander  Joseph.  In 1871, due to health  considerations, he was sent to the Christian Brothers College in Pass  Christian, Mississippi, to regain his health.   He quickly recovered his health and was assigned as Director at St.  Patrick's Academy in Chicago, Illinois.   In December he died of tuberculosis at age twenty-nine, having been a  De La Salle Christian Brother for only four years.
