I am not certain what your original query was, but I can tell you that what is
now known as Mt. Healthy was formerly called Mt. Pleasant. Mt. Pleasant,
founded in 1815, was so named because of clean air and rural setting. People
from Cincinnati area flocked to Mt. Pleasant when the cholera epidemic struck
sometime in 1800's. This country village remained free of the epidemic and
became known as and officially named Mt. Healthy.

If I haven't answered your original question, please e-mail me directly and I
will try to help further.
