BENGY, ANATOLE de. - Jesuit, b. 19 Sept. 1824 at Bourges, d. 26 May 1871 at Paris. Having entered the Society of Jesus in 1843, he took part in the Crimean War as a military chaplain. He then taught in various colleges, and in 1870 he again took part as a chaplain in the Franco-Prussian War. Especially during the siege of Paris, he was generous in aiding the wounded. On the night of 3 Apr. 1871 he was arrested by the national guard and regarded as a hostage of the "Commune." A few weeks later he was killed, together with two other fathers of the Society of Jesus and about forty other victims.
