I don't mean to send you way outside of NJ, but I had an Great Aunt that had TB and went to the Trudeau Sanitorium in Saranac Lake NY. It had a good reputation, and even though my Aunt's family lived in New York City, there were trains running between NYC and Saranac Lake. I have a similar problem with getting a death certificate or finding a record of her death. I found a patient card indicating when she was admitted to the Trudeau Sanitorium, but it is still a mystery if she died in Saranac Lake, or back in NYC. Art -----Original Message----- From: C.C. Mac [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 4:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NJESSEX] Tuberculosis Hospitals An ancestor who lived in Newark died of TB in 1890 or 1891. I tried to get a death certificate from Health & Sr Services, but they could find no record of his death in Newark. This makes me wonder if he was taken to a TB hospital in county but outside of the city. Does anyone have an idea where else he might have been sent in this time frame?
