Hi folks, First a big thank-you to those who recommended writing to the City of Troy rather than to the NY State Health Dept for a death cert. I got it by return mail!! But, of course, every success brings new questions. In this case, there is no information known about husband's, father's, or mother's name. The age is pretty close to the person I'm seeking and the birthplace is within the realm of possibility. So now the questions. The information that is on the transcript says she died (in 1887) at Marshall Infirmary in Troy and that she was buried at Mt. Ida Cemetery. I looked on-line for burials at Mt. Ida and found that only Old Mt. Ida has listings and she's not there. I saw that there is a New Mt. Ida, but don't know when it was established. Would a person who died in 1887 be likely to be at the New Mt. Ida? And if so, does anyone have an address for it? And what kind of place was Marshall Infirmary? Was it a regular medical clinic/ hospital or a sanitarium of some sort? Any insight greatly appreciated! Joy -- Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.

Marshall's was a sanitarium, I believe. It was located between Spring Avenue and Pawling Avenue just off of Linden Avenue.
