Calvary Cemetery is on the north side of the University Village shopping mall. It is Roman Catholic. Likely you are referring to Columbus Hospital, which was a Catholic Hospital. It was absorbed by another one in town. I think that was St. Frances Cabrini Hospital on First Hill. Cabrini is now closed and torn down. Firlands was a TB Sanitorium which closed in the early 1960s. It was state operated. For the medical records of small hospitals that have "disappeared" in this state, ask the Washington State Hospital Association (300 Elliott West, Seattle, WA 98119, 206-281-7211) for the whereabouts of the records. Don't be too disappointed if all the old records were destroyed. Maybe a card file showing dates of admission/discharge and diagnoses/surgical procedures survived. The King County Medical Society publishes a monthly Bulletin that contains many historical articles. Information about Calvary Cemetery and Columbus Hospital may be obtainable from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese's archives. The University of Washington Pacific Northwest Collection may have something on file, like newspaper articles about the hospital itself. --Ida Skarson McCormick, idamc@seanet.com --------------- Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 17:31:51 -0800 (PST) From: John Wm Sloniker <johnwms@serv.net> Old-To: PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com Old-cc: RNCNOR@aol.com Subject: Re: Columbus Sanitorium or Calvary Cemetery At 05:31 PM 1/19/99 -0800, John Wm Sloniker <johnwms@serv.net> wrote: >I remember Firlands, but Columbus predates my history. > >The Calvery Cemetery I know of is; 5041 - 35th Ave. NE Seattle 98125 > Ph.
