Fr. Benjamin Aubry d. 1863
Fiji
He was born in Meuse, France in 1834. He was professed in 1859 and arrived in Fiji aged 27. In his second year there he had great success on the island of Kadavu. At the end of that year his small craft went into the reef during a storm and he was tragically lost at sea. He was only 29 years.
