Dear Linda, You wrote: Responding to the queries and comments about the TB sanitarium <snip> Thank you for sharing similar information about your family. I have had several suggestions about contacting either the local library or the historical society and I will try them both. My grandmother's experience may have been similar to that of your g-grandmother in that she may also have originally contracted t.b. from her brother who died from it several years before she did. It is now known that it is possible to carry the disease for some time before you actually have symptoms. Thank you for your help. I appreciate your time in responding to my query. Sincerely, Marilyn Denver, CO ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
