St. Rose sounds like it may have been a Catholic facility. Below is a link to the Helena Diocese's Archives, which covers Butte. It is a wealth of historical information: http://www.diocesehelena.org/pages/archives.htm Just e-mail Sr. Dolores Brinkel, Archivist to make your inquiry. Another option, is to contact the Montana Historical Library and Archives, which house many historical records from governmental institutions, including orphanages, state hospitals and the state prison. Just go to the following link and scroll down to the e-mail address for the Archives and you may make inquiry about the St. Rose Orphanage of Butte: http://msl.state.mt.us/lisd/library-hist.htm Hope these links help you in your search.
