Marianne Ardans

Notes:

This entry in Death records of Les Aldudes was listed as Marie Espelette (her daughter in law). All data listed matches the information in 1907 when Marie Espelette really died. This date matchs exactly the entry in Fr. Leo Gariador's diaries, therefore the entry is for the wrong person in city records. Unknown why?

Birth:
She was 22 years old at the time of her marriage. No birth record exists for her in the Aldude registers.

Marianne married Jean Gariador on 27 Nov 1849 in Chiloenia, Les Aldudes, France. Jean (son of Jean Gariador dit Detchume and Jeanne Bidart) was born on 14 Jan 1814 in Chiloenia, Les Aldudes, France; died on 8 May 1893 in Chiloenia, Les Aldudes, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Information:
English translation:
We are pleased to learn that two Benedictine priests are going to visit the region, arriving in California in the middle of July, from the Oklahoma Territory, to spend a few days with us. One of these visitors will be Father Dom Leo Gariador and his companion from the Aldudes. On our part we will do all we can to welcome both priests. And surely the Benedictine Fathers will not overwhelm us in our city, nor even in the beautiful parts of Tehachapi. As a matter of fact, we hope that it is time and not too late to come.

Ordained:
Father Leo was a Benedictine priest who received his education at Belloc monastery in France. He was ordained in 1887 and was sent to the Oklahoma territory in 1888. He was one of the first Basque benedictines to arrive at Sacred Heart Abbey which was built to convert the Indians to Catholicism. Fr. Leo visited the Basque communities in California as well as other western states and in 1905 was sent to build a monastery in Montebello, CA which was to serve as the base for missionary activities for the Basques living in America. In 1909, he was appointed Prior General at Sacred Heart which position he held until 1922. During his tenure, the monastery established a catholic university called St. Gregory's College which today is known as St. Gregory's University. He continued to live a Sacred Heart until his death. He wrote his diaries primarily in English in a series of little black books from 1888 to 1936 that still exist today in the archives of St. Gregory's Abbey. He died at Sacred Heart Abbey and is buried in their cemetery.
