    1. Irish Relative
    2. Greetings, I am trying to discover what happened to my grandfather's sister, Sarah Jane Barnett. Her family consisting of father, Robert Barnett, mother, Elizabeth Grier Barnett, and brother, Robert, Jr. came to the United States from County Donegal, Ireland some time between Robert's birth in 1872 and James' birth (in Wilmington, Delaware) in 1874. She was married to John James Hartley on September 21, 1893 and they had one son, Robert Barnett Hartley, who died during World War I. John James Hartley died in 1897 in Chester, Pennsylvania but according to the 1900 census, Sarah's son, Robert, was living with his grandparents in Wilmington, Delaware. Sarah died in 1914 from tuberculosis and the church records at her death, showed that she was living in Wilmington. Could anyone tell me if there was a facility in Wilmington in 1914 that helped people with tuberculosis? Because she was suffering from TB would she have been living at this facility rather than with her family? Is there any way of obtaining information from such facilities from that far back in time? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Jane MacLachlan
