The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 7, 1906 HENRY SCHRECK, of Benton Township, was brought before the commission of insanity, Monday, and the findings were that his mental condition was such that it was best to send him to the hospital at Clarinda. MR. SCHRECK has lived with his family for several years on a farm and was an industrious citizen. He is a German and somewhat of a recluse, seldom mingling with his neighbors, and it is thought this had a tendency to bring about his present condition. He was not boisterous or threatening but once before he became deranged and coming into the house pulled off his clothes and put them into the fire. Next he seized the house cat and consigned it to the flames etc. The same tendencies showed themselves this time and it was thought best to apprehend him at once. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 15, 2004 [email protected]
