My Great Uncle Frank Spurlin was county treasurer there, and lived there until his death. My great-grandfather, Frank's older brother, was William Rufus Spurlin, who was born in Tennessee in 1837. Their father's name was James Spurlin, but that is all I know about him for sure. He (James) was a deputy sheriff in Hot Springs County, where he was killed in the line of duty. Do you know of any connecton to your Spurlin line? Paula

As the child of a parent with mental illness, even though mother has been gone more than five years, to this day I have people who bring up the odd things our mother did and said at the ending of her days. I tell them: My mother would not have chosen mental illness any more than their parents chose the cancer, Parkinson's or heart disease that took them. In fact, mom would probably have preferred one of those, as her friends and acquaintances would have understood those as illnesses, and stuck by her. Most people don't understand mental illness, so they fear it and stay away. A kind doctor once told me someday there will be a vaccination for mental illnesses and we'll wipe it out as we have many of the physical diseases. Until then, hug, care for, love and do all you can to understand the disease your mentally ill friends and relatives battle. They live in a hell we can never understand and need love and attention just as much as those with a physical disease. As a genealogist, it meant I had to wipe the slate clean of most of what I was told of our family history growing up. I began from the beginning with the paperwork I had and that found in mom's estate. I see that as a good thing as I didn't waste time chasing all those pipe dreams we were told of being related to famous people, etc. and as I went step by step backwards, I gained the documentation needed for proof, plus it kept me on the right track. Your friend's situation is sad. His mother may have had something very treatable, such as a hormonal imbalance or post-partum depression, yet he was deprived of his mother and she her family all those years. Yes, thank God for advancements in mental health care. Sue >============================== >Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records. >New content added every business day.

Porter Died December 17,1930 and was buried December 19, 1930 in the State Hospital Cemetery that was at that time located where the Arkansas Health Department Building sits now. It was "moved" by the WPA in 1936 to a site in what is now West Little Rock. With his death being in 1930 he was almost definately one that actually did get moved. By the 1970's when that next Cemetery was "moved" I doubt there was anything for them to move. There is a nice 3 story monument on the spot where the remaining few acres of that cemetery are. There are no headstones or markers other than these. He also showed up on the 1930 Census in the State Hospital. He shows up in the Death certificate Index as well. You will be able to get a copy of his death Certificate from the vital records office for $10. Hope this helps.

You're so right. There was a woman in TN, years ago, who was put in the "Crazy House", as it was called, simply because she had seizures...which was probably epilepsy. Poor thing lived her days out there and was helpless to her fate. How horribly sad.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0V.2ADE/2235.2.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Rodony, I regret to inform you, that you are very unlikely to locate a gravesite of anyone that was buried in the various State Hospital cemeteries. As was mentioned already, a State Hospital cemetery was located where the Arkansas Department of Health is now located. It was relocated. The next State Hospital cemetery was located where the Arkansas State Crime Lab and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission headquarters is now located. It too was relocated to a new cemetery near the town of Haskel in Saline, County. That cemetery is located adjacent to the Harmony Springs Cemetery on Arkansas Highway 229, and remains the "final" resting place. Unfortunately, the state viewed these people as paupers, and through repeated relocations and a failed record keeping system, their final resting place will never be known by their descendants. The grave sites that can be found contain markers with numbers rather than names. This was done to protect their identity since it was a mental hospital. The records that are necessary to relate the numbers to a name appear to be no longer available. Some are simply unknown. I say all of this because my grandfather died in the State Hospital in 1930 and he is one of the victims of this travesty. The State Hospital was horrible place in its earlier years. Because so many mental illnesses were not understood, or because of the lack of treatments at that time, many people were placed there that would never have been considered a mental institution candidate by today's standards. My family has searched in vain for many years and exausted all available resources, and has given up hope of ever knowing his location. This is simply an honest answer that my save you the time and grief of a futile search. Allen Smith
