To the best of my knowledge, Norton Memorial Infirmary (as it was originally named) was established by the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky, and named in honor of the Rev. John Norton, an Episopal priest who died in 1881. Walker K. McCulloch Verger St. Paul's Episcopal Church Jeffersonville, IN "Thomas S.

Dear Walker, Thank you for that information. Having spent a lot of time at St. Andrew's and Church of the Advent in Louisville, I failed to see the connection between the Hospital and the Seminary. Although my dear departed best friend was once exec.vp of the SBT Seminary, he never mentioned any connection, either.
