Linda, Thanks for your candid reply. When I was growing up I remember hearing people talk about one of our family members who died at Weston. He was taken there because no one else would accept people with advanced tuberculosis. There was a new baby and three other children in the house to be considered. He was in his late 30's. I have always wanted to see if there are records available for early 1900 patients. It must have been heartbreaking to send your family to such horrible facilities. Thanks, Lenore ______________________________ --------------------
