      Thanks ever so much for looking and getting this info for me, Elizabeth. I'll google the hospital....looking quite sad though. I think it was her 9 year old grandson who was shot and killed by his little playmate when they were playing Cowboys and Indians.....don't know how they had access to the gun though.......

          Aww, yes, her grandson Dante Razzano died on the 15/03/1940.....sounds like her poor mind was persecuted...so very sad.
