Henrietta Elizabeth Breckley (née Stables) came to Saranac Lake to cure from tuberculosis and stayed at 2 Park Place. She was originally from Philadelphia, but was living in northern New Jersey at the time of the 1930 census. Her date of arrival is not known, but disinfection records place her as leaving Cole Cottage/2 Park Place for "NYC" on November 25, 1931. She returned to Saranac Lake at some point after that, as she wrote to her son from 2 Park Place on September 15, 1933. She died of TB at age 29 in Saranac Lake on November 22, 1933. Her death certificate indicates that her remains were sent to Gloucester, New Jersey.
