URSUS BURI, ABBOT OF BEINWIL
Ursus Buri, the restorer of the Benedictine abbey in Beinwil (Beinwyl), was born in its vicinity in 1594. Initially having entered the monastery in Rheinau, he returned to his homeland [Switzerland] in 1622, and became abbot of Beinwil.
The new abbot had to struggle with innumerable sufferings and hardships, but he brought the monastery into such good condition, both internally and externally, that his meritorious life and work afforded him a blessed memory for all time. He died on April 11, 1633. (Burg.)
