Thanks, Gina. I'll give it a try. I doubt that he was insane, probably
just old, but in those days, things were looked at AND diagnosed
differently.

Christine,
The Hospital's website that Virginia mentioned, states the following,
Richmond State Hospital Genealogy
We have very limited patient records prior to 1979. Most of the early
records were destroyed. There are some archive books listing very limited
patient information.
Indiana State Archives
(
http://www.in.gov/icpr/archives/featured/csh_aiin/csh_hosp.html)
apparently
has some materials. According to their website:
"Richmond State Hospital (1890-present) (formerly Eastern Hospital for the
Insane) Richmond State Hospital has served people with mental illness from
18 counties in eastern Indiana for 105 years. Collection Description:
Annual
Reports; List of Patients, 1887-1923; Medical Records (sampling),
NEED
DATES. "
You may luck out since your G Grandfather was there in 1925.
I think Susan was put somewhere in 1870 until her death.
Hope this helps,
BTW Thank You To Virginia for sending the link for the Hospital!
Gina
