Biographical history

According to an article in the Western Catholic Reporter, Gregory Albert Schiller was known “for his deep devotion to the church”. His admission file to Saint Joseph Seminary tells us that he was born in Edmonton on June 18, 1917 and was a member of St. Joseph’s parish. He studied at St. Joseph’s Seminary from 1939 to 1942 and from 1945 to 1948, but was never ordained. “He was a long-time active member of the Knights of Columbus and lived his life to ensure God, family and service were placed well ahead of anything he might want for himself.” Gregory Albert Schiller died in Edmonton on August 1, 2004 and is buried in St. Joachim Cemetery.

Custodial history

After Gregory Albert Schiller died, Greg Bounds had the albums in his custody for some time before he brought them to the Archdiocesan Archives in June 2008. See the accession file for more information.
