Misc. Notes
"Beatrice became a Franciscan at Mount Olivet near Gethsemani and died as a novice in 1872 or there about. She was buried at Mt. Olivet, but when the sisters moved to Shelbyville they moved their dead to St. Louis Cemetery in Louisville, KY. Later the community moved to Clinton, Iowa. My mother Beatrice Clark Donahue was named for her."
