Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0V.2ADE/2316.1 Message Board Post: I believe that surname and the varations are also found in Lonoke County. The Lonoke County line is directly east of Little Rock by about 10 to 12 miles. If per chance you are looking for a good researcher, I can suggest someone. In the time frame you seem to be speaking of, most of Lonoke County was either Prairie County or Pulaski. In my opinion that is a hard time to search because of the way the lines fell and shifted. I may be way off, but anyway it goes, I do wish you the best of luck!

(Walnut Ridge). In particular I am looking for Shrilda (or Serilda) McLAIN, daughter of James D (Drew I think) McLAIN, who was a son of James D., who was a son of Squire and wife Melinda Caroline HARDIN, and Squire was a son of Charles McLAIN and wife Perlina---first found in Lawrence County, Strawberry top, AR on the 1850 census. Squire and wife, and below them son James D. and a wife Lizzie are on the 1900 census in Lawerence County. This James D. also was married I think to a Josie. This James D. also named a son James D., b 1890 AR. The name Serilda / Shrilda was given to a daughter of Squire's and Melinda's, and it was given to a daughter born to Squire's grandson James D. (Drew) McLAIN( b1890) and wife Amanda. James D. b 1890 AR and wife Amanda b 1893 AR who proably married 1914-1915 in AR were on the 1930 census in Arkansas > Lincoln > Star City > District 7, Cane Creek township. I am hoping to find this line from James D.McLAIN / McCLAIN and wife Amanda's daughter Shrilda / Serilda McLAIN born about 1922 in AR, who was 8 years old on the 1930 census in Lincoln County AR--- this line may have also been in Hot Springs. This McLAIN / McCLAIN line came from (99% proven) from Weakley County, TN line most likely from NC before that, and were in KY and IL, as well as TN, some to AR and some to MO.

I am of the opinion that simply going into White County and getting into their search area would help you. They have as far as I know, all their cemeteries on line and up to date. If this person had a marker, they are probably listed especially as the date of death occured in the 1960's.

Also, this was before the time of hormone replacement therapy, and anti-depressants or tranquilizers. Seems like they had one sedative, but you weren't necessarily mobil after you took it, if I remember "The Snake Pit" movie of the late 1940's accurately.

Yes the Insane Asylum was and still is on Markham Street, right where you said it was. It is beside the University of Arkansas Medical School. I have lived in Little Rock my entire life and I am 53, but the reason I didn't answer the original request is because there isn't much to tell. If you are looking for records of patients, you can pretty much forget that. I have never known anyone to get any documentation from the Insane Asylum or the cemeteries, no matter how hard they try. I had an Aunt there and I can tell you for sure that she was NOT insane, she was an alcoholic, which I think most of the patients were. I also know though that the bad ones (patients) were not allowed to walk outside, they were always locked up. My husband's grandmother was a nurse there and she told me that most of the people there, should not have been there, but didn't go too much into details.

It was about in line with Spruce Street (?), which dead-ended into Markham. There was a huge grassy Mall with several institutions located on it, one being the Insane Asylum. The patients often walked on the Mall with family members or staff. I was a child and none of them looked "crazy" to me but when we were anywhere on the Mall my Mother would always be conscious of the possibility of "sick people" approaching. This memory is from 60 years ago, and I haven't been in LR since 1949, so it may be faulty. ==== ARPULASK Mailing List ==== NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal.

Yes, MissLata, you are correct that there was this one floor that was strictly off limits to most about anybody and my husband's grandmother explained it to me about the way you explained it in your email. It was not a nice place to be or even now think about. I just pray now that they are more humane and the conditions are a lot better than there were in the 50's and 60's.
