The following is from St. Rose's website:
History: 
St.
Rose Youth & Family Center, founded in 1848, is the oldest social
service agency in Wisconsin. In 1848, many immigrants made the perilous
journey across the Atlantic to the United States. Many did not survive
this journey, while others arrived very sick. While caring for the
newly arrived immigrants, Rev. Peter McLaughlin came upon a seriously
ill couple from Ireland. The parents dying request was that Rev.
McLaughlin promise to care for their four-year-old daughter, Katie
Colfer. Rev. McLaughlin made that promise and then entrusted Katie's
care to the Daughters of Charity. Katie's stay with the Daughters of
Charity was the beginning St. Rose Residence.
By 1850, there were 33 girls in the
care of the sisters. In 1853, the St. Rose Orphan Asylum, as it was
called moved into a two-story building on Jackson Street. It was
complete with dormitories, kitchen, schoolroom, dining hall and wash
room. It would serve as home for the girls for the next 35 years. In
April 1888 a new orphanage building was completed at 2321 North Lake
Drive.
Occupying three-and-a-half acres close to Lake Michigan, a better
location for the care and nurturing of girls could not have been found.
This was our home for the next 85 years.
It provided a comfortable environment and offered excellent medical
care through St. Mary's Hospital, operated by the Daughters of Charity.
During the decade of 1900-1910, there was an average population of 166
girls at the facility.

Transcription of marriage record:
The spelling of the last name of the bride and the bride's parents is most likely an error: Muchanetschki or Muchametschki is not correct, according to other records. See the marriage record for Julia's son, George, which lists Julia's last name as Mohelnitzky.

[The year of immigration "1873" is in question. If this record is for Julia Mohelnitzky Klein, family stories say she was in an orphanage in Milwaukee. She is listed in another document as being a servant in 1870 at the Williamson home in Milwaukee. 1873 was the year Julia Mohelnitzky was married to Anton Klein.]
