Br. Henry Fuhrmann, O.S.B.

Br. Henry Fuhrmann, O.S.B., age 84, monk of Subiaco Abbey, died peacefully July 6, 2004. He had been confined to the Abbey Health Center the last five years as he declined steadily under the ravages of Parkinson's disease. Edward Fuhrmann was born July 6, 1920, in Lindsay, Texas, the first of eleven children of Willie N. and Margaret (Orth) Fuhrmann. He attended St. Peter's School in Lindsay, then farmed and worked in the area until he was 21 years old.
Influenced by a vocation homily by his pastor, this young man felt God's call to follow in the footsteps of two uncles and two cousins who were monks at Subiaco Abbey. On January 19, 1942, with the prayers and blessing of his parents and pastor, Edward Fuhrmann came to Subiaco Abbey where he professed his monastic vows on September 8, 1943, receiving the religious name of Henry. He was followed a few years later by a younger brother, Linus, who became Father Nicholas.
Brother Henry was assigned to continue his work in the carpenter shop where he had shown great promise during his candidacy and novitiate, working under the tutelage of Subiaco's veteran craftsman Martin Schriver. During this time he helped Mr. Schriver turn out many enduring and beautiful pieces of woodwork, including the tables and chairs in the monastic dining room, the abbot's pontifical throne (used until Vatican II), and the cedar tabernacle used each year during the Holy Thursday liturgy.
Brother Henry's dream came true when his next appointment was to work on the abbey farm, an assignment that he would love and cherish even in his retirement years. He took to heart St. Benedict's admonition to pray and to work: Brother Henry's spirit had the gentleness of a lamb; his body, the physical strength of an ox.
During five decades of work on the farm, Brother Henry witnessed many transitions, perhaps the greatest being the close of the dairy and sale of milk cows in the early 1960s. For decades following, he managed the abbey's beef farming.
Sowing and reaping crops, dealing with adverse weather conditions, fixing broken machinery, and the hundred-and-one other necessities known only to a farmer, were part of Brother Henry's half-century of dedicated agricultural work. His strong faith and generosity endeared him to neighbors and friends.
In 1976 he spent three months at Santa Family Monastery in Belize, Central America, helping with farm and construction work. Other than this short interval away, Brother Henry's entire monastic life was spent at Subiaco.
His favorite outdoor pastime was fishing. In his heyday, he, along with other fishermonks, regularly provided a full Friday fare for the monastic table. He always enjoyed a lively game of "sheephead" or dominoes at evening recreation.
Reminiscing during his golden jubilee year in 1993, Brother Henry said: "I went through the usual smooth and rough until profession in 1943." And summing up the years spent on the farm he concluded: "We had a very busy life and we want it so."
During the years of is declining health and final illness, Brother Henry was faithfully attended by his cousin Brother Louis Fuhrmann, with whom he had shared decades of work on the Abbey farm.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, Anna Stoffels, and a brother, William, who died in infancy. He is survived by eight siblings: Besides Father Nicholas of the Abbey there are Joe, Tony and Aloys Fuhrmann of Lindsay, Texas; Ottilia Wachsman of Wichita Falls, Texas; Rose Stoffels, Theresa Huchton and Mickey Haverkamp of Muenster, Texas.
A Christian Wake service will be held at 7:00 p.m. on July 8, 2004, in Saint Benedict Church, Subiaco Arkansas. The liturgy of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. July 9, 2004, in Saint Benedict Church at Subiaco. Interment will be in the Abbey cemetery under the direction of Roller Funeral Home of Paris, Arkansas.
