I see Lucinda Riggs and Nancy Gore in this list. Nancee ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Leon Reporter, Leon, Iowa Thursday, April l5, l897 'Decatur County's Insane' It will no doubt surprise many of our readers to learn that 26 persons from Decatur County are now confined in the Clarinda insane asylum, besides the insane patients kept at the poor farm. Those at Clarinda are: Mrs. S. Smith; Joseph Needham; Volney Dorsey; James M. Harrow; James L. Wilson; John Taylor; H.E. Warner; John Kirwin; Frederick Wilson; Holley E. Kelley; Frank Baxter; Newton Judd; Samantha Swan; Beatrice Parr; Rebecca E. Tharp; Clara A. Dibble; Martha Stephens; Fanny Humphries; Lucy Boswell; Nancy Gore; Lucinda Riggs; Elizabeth Cozad; Alice Brann; Ellen M. Perry; Viola Warnock; Louise M. Warren. Each of these patients cost the county $l5 per month for their board and care in addition to what clothing is required for them. The County Treasurer has just remitted to the State for the quarter ending March 3l, the sum of $l,l70, so that taking the expense of the officers in conveying insane persons to the asylum, the fees of the insane commissioners, etc., it costs the county something over $5,000 a year for the care of its insane. At the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors, a resolution was passed requesting that seven of the most docile and easily handled of the incurable insane at Clarinda be returned to the county to be cared for at the new County ( House) (sic) just finished, where all necessary preparation has been made for taking care of them. If seven persons are returned, the county will have $l,260 less per year to pay to the asylum and we know they can be kept at the County Farm for one-half the sum. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -------Original Message------- From: Terrie Carr Date: 12/29/2009 1:12:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IADECATU] Charles Gore Didn't have much on Charles Gore, with the Missouri lead I was able to find his death certificate and now show : Charles E.
