[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 52334, member: 59"]One really last note. I was mistaken in my assumption that "The Craig Colony" was for the care of tuberculosis patients. It was in fact for epileptics, established in 1894. Because it is relatively close to the places where Idris was living in 1917 and 1920, I can only imagine that those locations were specifically chosen because of proximity to Craig. Most of the links that come up on Google when searching "Craig Colony" are references to the institution's cemetery and to scholarly articles about the development of it and other New York State institutions for the care of the poor and those suffering from a variety of conditions. Here's a link to an article about Craig.
