Thralls/Vessels - Indiana Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods
I'm looking for any information as to the Thralls or Vessels connection with Saint Mary of the Woods College in Indiana. I have a copy of an old newspaper clipping of Alice Cecilia (Thralls) Vessels, wife of Elijah Vessels, obituary that notes the school was built partly on her homestead. In researching the children of Alice and Elijah, I came across a mention of a Sister Mary Rita Vessels and am wondering if that is the connection as well as what Sister Mary Rita's given name may have been. Any information is appreciated!
