Irish Province News 40th Year No 4 1965

News has reached us from Alabama of the death at the age of 91 of Fr. K. A. Nowlan, S.J., O.B. (1883-90). Fr. Nowlan went to the United States in 1891 and in the course of a long life in the class room he taught at four colleges before going to the Jesuit High School, Shreveport, where he spent 35 years teaching before retiring in 1961. In 1960 the “Fr. K. A. Nowlan Trust Fund” - a burse to provide scholarships in perpetuity at the Jesuit High School, was set up by his former students and friends. Fr. Nowlan made local headlines when at the age of 86 he became an American citizen in special naturalization ceremonies in the Federal Court.

Obituary

Father Kevin A Nowlan SJ (OB 1885)

Last July one of Belvedere's oldest alumni - Father Kevin Nowlan SJ, aged 91 years, died at Mobile, Alabama. He had gone to the United States in 1891 and in the course of a long life in the classroom he taught in New Orleans, Mobile Tampa, Florida, Grard Coteau and Shreveport. At Shreveport be was the Grand Old Man of the community - he spent 35 years teaching there. On 6th September 1960 on the occasion of his 70th anniversary as a Jesuit, his former students and old friends founded the Father Kevin A Nowlan Trust Fund. As a result a substantial sum of money was set aside to pro vide scholarships in perpetuity for worthy and needy boys at Shreveport Jesuit College.

Father Nowlan made local newspaper headlines when he became an American citizen on 8th July 1960 in special naturalisation ceremonies in Federal Court under Judge Dawkins. A year later, at the age of 87, failing health occasioned his transfer to Assumption Hall, Mobile. Here he passed to his reward last July. May he rest in peace
