Does anyone have any idea where someone with TB, about 1915, might have been sent "to the country for a cure"? Helen Quinn Wilson - death bed marriage, so the story goes, died about Jun 1917. She is buried in Cemetery of the Holy Cross, in Brooklyn, with her parents, but I don't know where she died, or was married, or to whom, other than Wilson. If I knew where to look for a TB sanitarium/hospital, "in the country", I might be able to find the rest of the desired data. Thanks Georgia

There was a TB Sanitarium in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York and it is now the Dutchess County Community College. Also there was a TB Sanitarium in Oneonta, New York and I believe that is now Oneonta State University....

I had an uncle who lived in Brooklyn, contracted TB in 1920 and was sent to the Trudeau Sanitarium in Saranac Lake, NY. The sanitarium opened in 1884 and closed in 1954. The property was purchased by the American Management Association.
