  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but the source seems to be saying he was the second last survivor of the novitiate. Yoninah (talk) 18:02, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: How do you read that? The quote above was taken verbatim from page 419. Ergo Sum 18:08, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Well, I see this in one place: Father Ward, as was observed before, was the last survivor of the Whitemarsh novices. and this in another: Father Ward was the last survivor of those whose religious life began at Whitemarsh, if we except Rev. Peter Havermans of Troy, N. Y., now (1896) a nonagenarian, who entered as a priest in 1830, and left the Society, more than half a century ago. Yoninah (talk) 18:11, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
