Apparently, the nuns bodies were re-buried in a town cemetary. Can you give me any information about the fire, the hospital and the nuns? Thank you.

At one of the meals provided at the St. Mary's Church for the musicians (I think it was the St. Mary's) a priest whose name I don't remember told me a story about a Grey Nun who disappeared with a man from Dawson City during the Gold Rush. There was a Montreal connection, which is why the priest told me the story, and I have been regretting not writing down more of the tale. I wonder if any of this rings a bell and/or if you would direct me towards some historical source that might satisfy my curiousity. Thanks for all your interesting work and greetings from Montreal.
