Wheatridge Lutheran Sanitarium in Wheatridge, Colorado


Selma Schulz Rachuig (1873-1935), daughter of Tobias & Wilhelmina Hunger Schulz, suffered from tuberculosis.  As her condition worsened in the 1930s, she spent time at a sanitarium in Olney, Texas.  In 1935 she moved to a larger institution in Wheatridge, Colorado.  Unfortunately, her condition never improved and she died suddenly.  

You see a picture of the sanitarium below.  It no longer operates as a sanitarium, as you can see in this short history.
