It's possible that it was a Catholic girl's school. Possibly the information I'm looking for is in regard to an orphanage operated by the Catholic church at the time in Joplin??? Thank you in advance for any help. Deb (SHIPMAN) ROWE Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
