  4. Between 1887 and 1899, more than 20,000 people died of Tuberculosis (TB) in Minnesota. In 1906, construction began for the Minnesota State Sanatorium for Consumptives, or Ah-Gwah-Ching, about three miles south of Walker in Shingobee township in Cass County.After serving nearly 14,000 patients, the Minnesota sanatorium was shuttered in 1962, eventually reopening as a nursing home. The facility was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. It closed in 2008, and the state deeded the land and buildings to various organizations including the public. All buildings at the site, with the exception of a small gazebo, have been torn down, and the site has been made ready for future development.

Biography* James William Ryan, 1911-1997:
James was the youngest of five and the second of two sons. His older brother died when James was about nine-months-old. In 1910, James' parents and siblings were living in Carimona township with his widowed maternal grandmother Catherine Meighen. Circa 1912, the family moved to Winona. Four years later, circa 1916, they returned Fillmore County and lived at Oak Ridge in Preston Village. By 1930, James had completed four-years of high school and in 1937 was living in Gosport, Owen County, Indiana. He married Erma McSchooler in November of 1938 and they spent that winter at the home of his parents in Preston. In the spring James and Erma left for Homer, Champaign County, Ilinois and spent the summer in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. By April 1940, they had returned to Gosport and were lodging with Simeon and Dorotha Wamplen. James was working as a drag-line oiler for the Calumet Construction Company. In 1939, he worked 40-weeks and earned wages of $1,400. In October 1940, James registered for the World War II draft. He listed his address as Dieterich, Effingham County, Illinois and his birth month as May. James declared that he worked under operating engineers in Terra Haute, Indiana as a skilled laborer on state roads. He was 5-ft/8-in tall, weighed 160 pounds, with hazel eyes, brown hair and a ruddy complexion. By 1945, the family was living in Clinton, Anderson County, Tennessee. And by the next year they were living in Oak Ridge, Tennessee which is partly in Anderson County. In 1951, they were living in Concord, Knox County, Tennessee. By 1952, James was stationed somewhere in northeast Africa. In December of that year, his wife Erma and their three children traveled by ship from New York City to Alexandria, Egypt to be with him. In November of 1954, almost two years later, the family flew back to New York from Athens, Greece on Trans World Airlines. In May of 1960, James returned from Frankfort, Germany to New York on a TWA flight. And by December of that year he was in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia. The family eventually landed in Houston, Harris County, Texas.

James, 86, died on a Thursday.
