NB: St. Vincent's Institution for the Insane, later renamed St. Vincent's Sanitarium, was founded by the Sisters of Charity for the treatment of mental and nervous diseases. It opened in August 1858 at Ninth and Marion Streets in St. Louis with four patients and fifteen sisters. In 1891, the home relocated to St. Charles Rock Road in St. Louis County. The home was in part financed by the patients' fees. By 1941 the home was operated by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul for the treatment of mental and nervous disorders as well as selected cases of alcoholism and drug habituation. The home remained in existence until the 1980s.
There's a copy of here death certificate on her FindAGrave memorial. It states Loretta died at St. Vincent's Sanitarium in Central, St. Louis County, MO. I find a neighborhood in the City of St. Louis, called 'Central West End' apparently this is either adjacent to Normandy Township within the city or the original location of St. Vincent's, but its incorrect.
In 1926 St. Vincent's would've been located where the building stands today in Normandy Township. Because St. Vincent's is on the National Register of Historic Places it can't be torn down.
