She was 32 in 1960. She had a brother who was a dairy farmer and a sister who was a home maker.

When she thought she was going into labor she borrowed a friends car and drove to little rock and had my dad in march or february 14 1960.

Her mother was a school teacher and around 45 in 1960.

If anyone knows anything or can tell me about booneville which is where I think she was from email princesspeach1983@live.com or call 870 275 4498. Any info would be appreciated.

Inituality it was a shocking experience.

Looking back I must think of it as the best of all educations.

True, there were many deaths but it also a story of survivors. The story of dedicated doctors and staff. I am only sorry I've forgotten so many names that go with so many faces of good people that made a difference in my life.

The Sanitorium holds a history of Tuberculosis treatment and how far it has come. Today, she continues as a health facility, still serving those less fortunate than we are.

Long live her glory!!!

Posted by billyed]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 10:55:28 -0500 Arkansas Times I was struck by the sadness of this story. However, I agree with BoonevillePhil that 'The Hill' needs to be preserved, not only for what it was when it was a Sanitorium, but for what it is now. A place of training for Developmentally disabled adults,80% of whom who are also diagnosed with mental illness. I pray that 'The Hill' can be built UP brick by brick, not torn down and that those who reside there will continue to receive the support and trainig they need to be the best they can be.

jdb, how sad. at least it was no longer than a year, but Im sure that was one hell of a long year. no doubt testing for tb and histoplasmosis weren't what they could've been at that time.

I can't imagine a child being confined there.
Posted by Tina]]> Sun, 20 Jun 2010 14:30:10 -0500 Arkansas Times Posted by JDB]]> Sun, 20 Jun 2010 10:06:01 -0500 Arkansas Times My aunt and uncle were the couple mentioned by BoonevillePhil above. They met as patients there at the age of 16 and 17. Their english tutor played cupid and forcefully introduced them at a dance thrown there for the teen patients. They weren't able to marry until they were both discharged when they were in their 20's. My uncle took mail order classes for bookkeeping while in the sanitorium and set up an a very successful office in Booneville after his discharge. He was Billy Dale and she was Billie Marie.
