Rome State School


Well Ive contacted every agency I can think of regarding finding my aunt that lived at Rome State School.And I cant find out what happened to her.Yes the historical socities in Herkimer,and Onieda County are great people to talk to.If you want to pass the time of day with.But no one that I can find to talk to.Can tell me where my aunt went from the school.Its like the system swallowed her up.I visited her once in the 1960s.It was a sad memory.She wasnt being treated right.In comparison to todays standard of care.

Be polite but persistant. The Freedom of Information Act may help you get the info going. Have you tried calling the state agency in Albany? I don't live in NY anymore, haven't for almost 40 years but you should be able to get thru somewhere at the capital.

I had 2 brothers who lived there in the 50s to 1972. They then got transferred to facility closer to home...then to group homes.

Let us know what you find. Hugs.

Exclamation Re: Rome State School
Hello,

Hopefully I can be of some assistance. I work at Broome Developemental Center and when we opened in the 70's, we received a lot of people from the Rome state school If you would like to PM me and give me some of her information, I can try and search her out for you. I will do what I can.. maybe you can get some answers?
