DURING THE 30S AND 40S AT LEAST(ERA I AM AWARE OF) THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HOSPITAL FOR THE NURSES IN TRAINING AT BETH ISRAEL, NEWARK WAS SOHO. THE INSANE ASYLUM THEY TRAINED AT WAS GREYSTONE. SOHO WAS AS I REMEMBER, SOMEWHERE NEAR THE TURNPIKE WHEN WE WOULD DRIVE INTO NYC. FROM THE JERSEY SHORE. HOWEVER, GREYSTONE WAS FURTHER INLAND. SOHO HAD EVERYTHING FROM WHOOPING COUGH TO POLIO AND TETNUS. LINDA

Re: SOHO which was properly called the Essex County Isolation Hospital, It is located near the Newark/Belleville/Bloomfied lines, not close to the Turnpike. My brother and I were confined there when we had Scarlet Fever in 1938 It is now used to care for the elderly... Greystone hospital is located in Morris Plains ( Morris County ), NJ. My wife did her nurses training at St. Michaels Hospital in Newark and As part of her education, spent 6 or 8 weeks nursing mentally ill patients at Overbrook Hospital in Verona/Cedar Grove ( Essex County ), NJ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 9:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NJESSEX] CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HOSP, AND INSANE ASYLUMS DURING THE 30S AND 40S AT LEAST(ERA I AM AWARE OF) THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HOSPITAL FOR THE NURSES IN TRAINING AT BETH ISRAEL, NEWARK WAS SOHO.
