My husbands grandmother was raised there with her siblings till she became 18 and married and then she took on the role of parent to her siblings. If you are still interested I can find out more on this and i believe i can also get a few pictures of it. I can tell you that it was burned to the ground and there was a article on it in the local newspaper a few years back. I dont have any information on any of the children there or how to get ahold of it. I would have to assume that the records if any were kept may have burned with the building. I do know that it was run by Nuns.
