Well, I seem to have answered some of my own questions. Browsing for online information, I find the Kenton County Library has (as usual) a very good description on their website about St. Elizabeth's Hospital. It was established in 1860 by the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis on Seventh Street. So perhaps the two institutions were the same. The library information also indicates there is information from some patient records available from a database, but I have not seen that yet. Best wishes, Ann
