Does anyone know anything about this place? I have never been able to find her parents and wonder if this convent was a place for orphans or 'behaviorly challenged' girls or something else. My Mary married into the Klocke family, had a few children and died fairly young of cirrhosis of the liver, which leads me to believe she might have been a heavy drinker.. She has been so difficult to find info on and my grandfather never mentioned his parents. She and her husband are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery. Can anyone give me any information on this 'convent?' Thanks, Donna in MT
