This has recently made its way to Oklahoma and is currently on my Christmas tree. Am trying to find out about this lady, she could stitch quite well and must have made a lot of ornaments. This lady is not family, however, I know she can be found using the same methods as if she were. Have checked RAOGK, there is no volunteer for Adams county. The mailing list seemed to be quite busy when I looked at the Archives, does anyone live in Clayton who could check at a public library when the holidays settle down ?

Was this facility actually a jail or a home for mentally impaired? I'm a little confused as to what exactly the case is. Thanks for your help.
