It is just possible that the hospital was the only place that had a TB unit for any patients that had it. They would have been in a unit by themselves and not with the regular hospital patients. We had such a unit at Napa State Hospital.

It is interesting that your ggGrandfather is named Jefferson Davis Cook. My 3rd great grandfather John Cook Sr. had a sister named Paula Cook Davis who was the mother of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, who was born in Logan county Kentucky. Christian county was part of Logan county Kentucky. -----Original Message----- From: cook-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cook-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dorothy Wogh Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 4:43 PM To: cook@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COOK] Jefferson Davis Cook It is just possible that the hospital was the only place that had a TB unit for any patients that had it.
