WILLIAMSON posted by Ruth Hall on Thursday, November 4, 2004

Does anyone have information about the tuberculosis hospital that was operating in the early 1900's? Would they still have records of patients there? I believe my great grandmother, Anna WILLIAMSON was a patient and died there in 1919. She was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Van Wert County.
