[61] Three Nuns Of The Hotel-Dieu Convent, According To Authorities Quoted By Mr. Faucher, Were Buried In The Vault (Caveau) Of The Jesuits' Chapel.

The sisterhood had been allowed the use of a wing of the Jesuits' College, where they removed after the conflagration of the 7th June, 1755, which destroyed their hospital.

4. Mere Marie Marthe Desroches de Saint-Francois-Xavier, a young woman of 28 years, who succumbed to small-pox on the 16th August, 1755.

5. Mere de l'Enfant-Jesus, who expired on the 12th May, 1756.

6. Mere de Saint-Monique, who died in July, 1756, the victim of her devotion in ministering to the decimated crew of the ship "Leopard," sunk in the port by order of Government to arrest the spread of the pestilential disease which had raged on the passage. Mr. Faucher closes his able report with a suggestion that a monument ought to be raised, to commemorate the labours and devotion of the Jesuits, on the denuded area on which stood their venerable College.
