Hi Margaret, I'll try to "look" around to see if i can get any info on it. Sorry for the larger type. I am 72 and visually impaired so it makes it easier for me to know if i made a mistake in typing. since this started about 3 years ago, i noticed that my old typing school habits aren't keeping my fingers from straying. Good luck and maybe someone else will have some knowledge., but i'll try checking at the local library to see what they can tell me. we have a women's prison near us and maybe they might have an answer. I'll try giving them a call to see if they might have something on it. Of course, it could have been a name change also. Ginny [email protected] wrote: Hello Ginny and thanks for your input. This place likely closed decades ago and may have been a hospital/facility for unwed mothers and/or pregnant women, some who were in prison. A relative of mine recently came across a birth certificate that said a woman from a nearby prison had given birth to twins in 1942 at this facility. She stayed there for 4 months. The name is exactly as written on the b.c., Ida MS Thompson Hospital, no clue what the MS stands for. Our family lore says a woman in our family gave birth to a child while in prison (back in the 1930's or '40's) and we were wondering if this may have been the location. Margaret
