Not only will there be a record of commitment at the local level, but there
will also be one at the state level. For the state record, contact the
Indiana State Archives. Records of Central State hospital and other state
hospitals are available in paper and web formats.
You may want to contact me privately about help at the Archives, where
staff is very depleted due to the state hiring freeze. I volunteer at the
Archives a few times a month, and I can say that each skilled employee
there tries to accomplish the jobs of 3 or 4 people.
The Archives has a website with the address on E 30th St, the "temporary"
location. It had better be temporary: the roof leaked, and there was a
big puddle in the middle of the processing room floor yesterday. What a
marvelous exhibit for yesterday's Open House. We volunteers are just
grateful the leak did not ruin any of the many original documents being
processed in that room for use by the public.

I really need to get over to Lebanon to the Library there and do some
research. I once asked the list if there was a way I could get tinto the
library on my scooter and I never got an answer. Guess I will just have to
go over and try and if I can't then try to make it in there without it. A
Byroad cousin told me she thinks that GGGGrandma Mary went insane and was
put into an old folks home in Indianapolis sometime after 1877 and was there
until she died. She says there should be a court order having her committed
there. Would the Court House have records from that time, or would I be
able to find that information at the Library there? Would the court order
state where she was sent and would they still be there and still have her
records? What kind of proof would I have to have in regards to my
relationship to her? Her son Enos Byroad was my GGGrandfather and his son
Thomas Neal was my GGrandfather, his daughter Pansy was my Grandmother and
her daughter Sarah was my Mother. I do have Grandma's Birth cert, but was
told at the Health Department in Lebanon that Mom did not have one. I find
that hard to believe as her 2 brothers and 2 sisters had one and 3 were born
before her and the other one born after her. I just don't think they wanted
to look for it as the one lady there was giving me a hard time getting
Grandma's. Sure hope she is not there when I go back to get the others.
Haha.
Thanks for all your help
