    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FkB.2ACE/1583.2 Message Board Post: I too, am trying to locate info on a possible patient between 1900-1910 and ran into some roadblocks. The Terrell State Hospital will not relese hardly any info on the people who were patients due to state privacy laws. The cemetery that the patients were interred in is now called The Wildwood Cemetery.When patients were buried in the cemetery the gravemarker that was allowed included only the patients number. In recent years the Wildwood Cemetery Assoc. has soliciated funds to replace those headstones with markers that had the actual name of the person. If you will see: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txkaufma/community/statehos/htm it will give you exactly the info you need to submit to the hospital to possibly obtain information. Good luck! Kathy
