My grandfather who died of TB was at home until he died. Only people with money in 1916 in Paducah, KY could go someplace to be treated and do not know if the public facilities were anything that anyone wanted to make themselves available to. A county nurse came to the home and taught the family how to care for him. Just another thought. Also Are you by chance related to the SHAW, PICKLE family of Wheel, TN.? I have just posted on the MARSHALL CO LIST about these families. I believe they may be related to my great aunt ANNA WRIGHT b. abt 1851 in LINCOLN CO. ANNA was married to SAMUEL T. STEPHENSON b. abt. 1853. On the 1850 LCT census they had JULIA b. abt. 1875 and CORA JANE b. abt. 1879. Julia (Wright) Molitz Newport Coast, CA
