Hello:
This is my first attempt to ask for any information on Ophelia Carrie and Joseph Gaiter
her husband. They are my great grand parents. If anyone has any information to share
including pictures, I would be grateful. Her daughter Mary Josephine was my grandmother.
I know Ophelia died when my grandmother was 9 years old. My grandmother was sent to a
convent to work for the sisters until she was 16 years of age. I would appreciate knowing
the convent she worked at for 7 seven years. Her brother Joseph was also sent to a Boys
Home somewhere in the Vincennes, Indiana area. If you have any information on this Boys
Home I would be truly grateful.
Mary Jo Vincent (grand daughter of Mary Josephine Gaiter (Blachly).
Merry Christmas. Grandmother was born on Christmas Day, 1900. She will be 107 years
old.

Hi, Mary Jo,
Re: Your request about the location of the Boys School in Vincennes,
Indiana. I believe it is located at the corner of Seventh Ave and East St
Clair street. It has been there for many years and the last time I was
through Vincennes it was still located there. They may have some info in
their records. BTW the zip code for Vincennes is 47591.
Good Luck,
