According to the 1880 census, Mother Mary Louis was stated as head of house at St. Stephen's. I will assume it to be a convent. Her occupation and the occupation of all the others sisters was that of teacher, so there must be a Catholic school very close. However, I have found very little information. I can't even find an image of the old church. I would like to get some confirmation on Mother Louis and a young lady named Julia Shea, both of whom I believe resided at 923 West Ohio St., Chicago (West Side), Illinois. Julia Ann Shea is my great, great grandmother.
