• Notes

  From Rita Paul Burkhart: Mary Burkhart entered the the Order of Sant Francis as Sister Leo. Sister Leo worked at St. Francis General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania making salads for the residents all her life as a nun. She came home to Ohio to visit once a year. She told the family that Father Joseph Finan (pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Burkhart, Monroe County, Ohio) would come over to visit. The sister in charge told Sister Leo one time to leave a bottle of beer for him on the nightstand in his room. The next morning when she went to clean his room, she was amazed to find that he drank the whole bottle. Sister Leo was a very polite woman, and evidently, very reserved. Sister Leo retired after working 50 years at the hospital. She suffered a severe stroke shortly after her retirement.
