Biographical / Historical
Sister Edith Hohm, OSB was born Marie on November 28th, 1858 in Rochester, New York. No vow sheet is held by the community, though the date of her profession of triennial vows is listed as August 15th, 1880. Sister died on October 7th, 1882 and is buried in St. Boniface Cemetery in Chicago.
No much is known about Sister's life and ministry, and key biographical data is disputed. The "Catalogue of Nuns and Convents O.S.B," published in 1903, lists her birth date as May 1st, 1844, and her death date as October 17th, 1882.
