Have never heard it referred to as a mental hospital - just an army hospital that took care of WWII soldiers - would assume for all ailments. It's still there but the buildings are now used for apartments, a nursing home, etc. Doubtful records of the hospital are still available in Clinton. Would recommend trying the Clinton Library or the Clinton County Historical Society for more info on the hospital. Hope this helps.
