MERCY HOSPITAL,
of Effingham, was built about the year 1866, by St. Anthony's congregation of that city, and under the auspices
of the Right Rev. Bishop Baltes, of this diocese. Six acres of ground within the city limits were donated by Mathias
Moening. The institution is under the control of the Franciscan Sisters of Mercy and is open to all classes and
denominations. The building was erected at a cost of $15,000, and is located just west of the Illinois Central
Railroad. It is complete in its appointments, and is ably and faithfully managed. The local physicians of Effingham
donate their services to the care of its patients as required.
