Something I Would Like to Read
Sister Mary Clara was the daughter of my great great great grandfather, Thomas Worland. She wrote the vital record dates of her family in a book called "Life of the Saints". It was found at the Convent of Oldenburg in Kentucky were she lived her life as a nun.
Verlinda and Thomas Worland are my 5th times great grand parents. I live in Indiana and had a great aunt named Verlinda. I know there is a Convent in Oldenburg, Indiana, very close to Shelbyville, and just down the road from St. Vincent's church. I wonder if Sister Mary CLara's convent was in Indiana and not Kentucky?
I just spoke with a sister at the Oldenburg Convent in Indiana and she confirmed that their convent began in 1851 in the Shelbyville, St. Vincent Catholic Church and later moved down the road to Oldenburg, Indiana.
