Francis P. Siegfried - the Priest
Francis became a priest and was Professor of Philosophy at St. Charles Seminary at Overbrook and was the chaplin there from 1886 until his death. He published the text-book "Essentialia Philosophiae" in 1924 and used it to teach his classes; the classes were in Latin. He was a man of both brilliance and charm. His closest associate for 60 years, Dr. H.J. Heuser wrote of him in a letter dated Feb 13th, 1928. "Francis had the manliness of heroic will power, refined into a habit of always attacking the most difficult task among the duties before him first. Whence sprung the ease for grappling with the things that might come after. Yet the man remained a child in simplicity, readiness to help, trustfulness, converting labor into play as the child turns it's play into work." Mr. Edward J. Galbally wrote, January 24th, 1928, " For the past 33 years until his death last June, I have been in daily association with Father Francis, whom I learnt to admire and love deeply. He was the gentlest of men. A genuine scholar, unassuming, gentle, spiritual, and generous in every sense that the word imports. His memory is an inspiration to all who knew him. An ornament on any family tree". It is to Father Francis Siegfried that we are indebted for most of the information we have about his branch of the family
