    2. Kathy Cardoza
    3. Hi Everyone I am new to this list and was hoping someone might be able to help me with this: My 2GG, was George William BROWNEWELL and he died there in Pueblo, Pueblo county, CO in 1910. In the 1910 Census, he was listed as living (an inmate) at the Woodcroft Hospital and School for Feeble Minded Children, Pueblo , CO. He died of Paresis (partial paralysis). I believe this was the State Asylum as it was stated so on his death certificate. Is this institution still there and if so, would there be any records available? Also, was this place used as a modern day nursing home for people like him (being partially paralyzed) or would his being there mean he was insane? I thank anyone who can help me on this.
