Those Places Thursday - Montana State Hospital - Margaret (Bauer) Koch


My 2x great grandmother, Margaret (Bauer) Koch was a patient her.  She was admitted December 12, 1897 at the age of 62. She was a patient here until her death in September 23, 1900.  Margaret had a daughter, Catherine Gardiner in Billings; a daughter, Ella Koch Butte; and a son Charles Koch (my great grandfather) of Billings. She is not buried on the premises. I need to find out where she is buried either in Butte or Billings since she had children in both places.

 The Montana State Hospital is located in Warm Springs, Deer Lodge county, Montana right along Interstate 90.  

 This summer I was on my way to Yellowstone National Park with family and I was able to stop here and see the hospital.

    I would love to hear more. I am trying to fit in a trip to the Pennsylvania state archives the next time we go back east. I have a g-g-grandmother who passed in a state hospital near Pittsburgh. Hers was a porhouse/mental health hospital. I am hoping to find out which side she was in.
