I doubt it. St Mary's "had" records but when I went to check on some medical records from about 1917, they told me that a convent in Ohio or Indiana had the old St Mary's Hospital records. I never did find them. As far as records from back then regarding the Cholera deaths, you "might" find a listing in the Newspaper during that time about who died of Cholera. You will spend probably the whole day looking too since they just placed anything anywhere in the paper back then. I remember reading something on the Cholera epidemic in June 1849 about certain people dying and then it mentioned there were "X" amount of people whom were unknown but died of Cholera. It mentioned the people's profession as painters. Good luck......I think my great great grandfather Adam Brendel was one of the "X" people who died during that time. We have found records of him being alive in 1848-1849 and then he simply vanished so we are assuming he died of Cholera but have not found out for sure.
