98. Inside the Sanitorium

We're inside now. Now that lady, second from the left, looks a lot more like Grammy. Two of the ladies from the previous pic are flanking her, but the lady with the glasses in #97 is missing.

I wonder if the little boy is Benjamin Kressley. Maybe that's Aunt Sally behind him.

Not Benjamin - that was Sallie's husband. Her son was Kermit. I don't know if that is them or not. This is probably a day-room, not one of the wards - windows too big. The place was a really marvelous hospital in its early days. It helped rid the country of TB, a dread disease that was almost wiped out by the 1960s.

Oops, I was wrong. Aunt Sallie's husband was Ed. Her father-in-law was Benjamin, who owned the house at 232, and had a freight business (with probably just one team of horses and a few wagons.)
