I don't know how I missed your post in 2014. My goal this year is to get back to blogging. Please know that I am very appreciative of the information you posted.<br />Sandra Williams Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866635659997988787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761945203213715857.post-47624067854493071962014-04-07T21:48:41.785-04:002014-04-07T21:48:41.785-04:00One more bit of information, there was another hos...One more bit of information, there was another hospital that did house just those having contagious diseases for that time period. It is located in Louisville Ohio, but closed down about 12 years ago because of asbestos. It was called Molly Stark Hospital. The building still stands and all the other buildings that were part of it stand still. They are talking about making it into a state park of some kind, but will cost millions to get rid of the asbestos.Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191603207958292754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761945203213715857.post-34209858853329721262014-04-07T21:44:36.962-04:002014-04-07T21:44:36.962-04:00I work in one of the buildings at the old state ho...I work in one of the buildings at the old state hospital. The old one was torn down in 2001 and another built in its place. There were several different buildings to the hospital. Some housed the mentally ill and some housed those having contagious diseases. If your family members died from TB the chances are they were housed in one of the medical facilities. The hospital was like a city all by its self. It was very beautiful at one time. There is a beautiful empty mansion still there that has conflicting stories to it. Some say President McKinley had it built for his wife to live in while she was treated for her fits (it was epilepsy, but epilepsy was not yet known about). They say that the tunnels that run beneath the entire property is how they took Mrs. McKinley back and forth between the buildings for treatment without being seen. Others say that the mansion belonged to the doctor that ran the hospital. McKinley Hall still stands close to where the mansion is, but at this time it too is empty. I hope this provided you with a little more information. If you need more just let me know. I am glad to help.Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191603207958292754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761945203213715857.post-73817864877303522622014-01-25T18:18:31.823-05:002014-01-25T18:18:31.823-05:00Thanks Renate, I'm on a mission!Thanks Renate, I'm on a mission!Sandra Williams Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866635659997988787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761945203213715857.post-37526589552833320972014-01-11T17:40:34.653-05:002014-01-11T17:40:34.653-05:00Great find.
