Message Board Post:
My great-grandmother, Eva Aletha Snyder Saunders, was incarcerated in the Whitley County
Infirmary from 1935 (or a few years before) until her death in 1948. I am looking for any
information about the institution at all - any records, stories, etc. I have the 1940
census, which shows her there under the name of Eva Sawnders, and that she was there in
1935 as well, but I have no idea why she was there. All I have is a story from a cousin
who visited around 1946 and said "It wasn't a very nice place and she had her
bags packed, hoping we were taking her home."
