>Subject: [NYSARATO] johanna gordon >hi, can anyone help me my grandmother died in a insane asylum in 1907, she was from victory mills ny and married to seymour gordon. had 4 chlidren mary, bill, helen and mildred. what asylum? thank you bill Before the Saratoga County Infirmary moved to Ballston Spa, it was in the Town of Providence and called Homestead Infirmary, or Homestead Sanatorium. I don't know the years of operation at that location, or the status of any records. Many local people were sent to the "insane asylum" at Utica - the Utica State Hospital, which seems to have been in operation for quite a long time, but I don't know the status of records for that place either. The best bet for the 1907 death is the death certificate, from the New York State Department of Health in Albany - you know the year, and if you order from Albany, you don't need the exact location.
