Wondering if it is worth my while to purchase the CD. Is there someone with
the IN Death Index who would mind telling me how many hits (just the number
is fine) there are for HOLLOPETER and STEVICK? Any assistance will be
greatly appreciated.

By chance, does anyone have the Heritage Quest Indiana Deaths CD and could
check to see if the following couple is listed?

It was a mental hospital my grandmother spent a year there, my mothers
freshman year in highschool so it would of been about 1935. She had a
nervous breakdown really bad I believe she tried to jump out of a window by
going through it. Although as I said earlier the view of any kind of mental
illness was not the same as it is today. Things that today someone might see
someone for for a relative short period of time and a few pills later are off
and running , then it was much different . The treatment was MUCH different ,
the views what can I say they just made things worse .

The name of the institution in Westville, Indiana, was Beatty Memorial Hospital. It no longer exists but the records are in Logansport. I have been in touch with the people there and was informed that you had to supply proof that you are a relative and then tell them what information that you want and they can copy it and send it to you for a fee. If you can go in person, I don't know if they allow you to look at the records. I found out that my husbands grandfather was there and died there. Still not sure why he was there to begin with. I was in the Kendallville Library viewing newpaper film when I came across the death announcement. I asked the women next to me if she knew anything about it and she said that she thought it was for the mentally ill.

I believe there was a place called Westville. I saw the building when I was
maybe 11 or 12. We would of been on our way to Kendelville which I believe is
in Allen county not far from Fort Wayne. I can get to the census but the one
I use still has no index for 1900. I tried 1920 thinking about 53 and found
only one doing it the quick way and that was in Mass I believe. I myself am
54 and a full time student after an injury so my time is rather limited
school isn't as easy as it was 30 years ago. I will keep you in mind and if
I find more on Westville I will let you know. It was a state Asylum for the
criminaly Insane (their views of insane were not quit the same as ours
today).

Brian's right. Some little biddy -paranoid as all hell- legislator in
Sacramento rammed a bill thru the California legislature after 9/11 last
year that effectively yanked all state and county vital record indexes from
the public view here in the golden state. Now when one wants some
information off of a birth, death or marriage certificate, one must request
it thru formal means and PAY for the search and record, at $15 - 20 a crack.
Tough luck if you choose the wrong guy.
Up until this new law went into effect, the records themselves could be
perused free of charge in just about every county here, and the indexes
could be used to streamline the search. It's a double shame, as California
always maintained a relatively public-friendly policy at just about every
county recorder/clerk office in the past, and kept good indexes for search
facilitation.
Any family historian worth their salt in Indiana had best find the time to
drop what they're doing and send a loud and resounding NO to their state
legislator, before you find yourselves wishing you had. Sadly in Cal here,
it made little difference. The ultimate consequence of the act - the state
gets richer, the genealogist ever poorer.
'Homeland Security' is getting more expensive with each passing day, and now
allows for all kinds of extra -and perhaps questionable- restrictions, all
in the name of domestic protection. Apparently the latest thinking in
political circles amounts to this: to thwart the actions of a few, all must
willingly suffer. Very patriotic indeed.

Would there be anyone who could check the 1900 census index for me for a Clara Schindler.....Shindler.....who would be about 33 years of age, married, born in Indiana. Johnson was her maiden name.
many thanks, marilyn
I have reason to believe an ancestor was placed in some kind of home or institution about this period of time...can anyone tell me what there may have been in Ft. Wayne or around that area at that time? I do not have access to a 1900 Indiana census to look for her on an index.
Or can anyone check a 1900 Indiana census index for me?
thanks, marilyn
There was a Claude Kilpatrick that lived in Fort Wayne until his death in
about 1957. Claude could have been a family name. There is one of his sons
still in Fort Wayne, His name is Richard Kilpatrick.
The family had also lived in Payne, OH. Payne is just across the border in
Ohio from Fort Wayne. New Haven is between Fort Wayne and Payne.
