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.
