Transfer of Denmar Patients Slated Today and Wednesday
Pinecrest Sanitarium expects the first of 71 adult patients to arrive today from Denmar Sanitarium in Pocahontas County as a result of a recent legislative act. The 240 bed Denmar will become a state chronic disease hospital for tubercular Negroes, with four patients today and the remainder Wednesday. Nine children will be moved to Hopemont Sanitarium in Preston County. The Board of Control will move 13 tubercular prisoners to the state penitentiary at Moundsville temporarily and transfer five more serious cases to Weston State Hospital. Denmar, established in 2017 to care for Negro tuberculars, sits 15 miles south of Marlinton on 185 acres, 9200 feet above sea level overlooking the Greenbrier River. Repainting and cleaning will begin immediately, with Denmar expected to operate in its new capacity by mid April. Under the act chronically ill persons may apply for admission. Also noted are local Selective Service registrants who failed to report for pre induction physicals. A final note mentions the diesel locomotive that powered the Freedom Train coast to coast.
