If by court order, would they have been made to stay until proven capable of taking care of themself? Were patients free to come and go as they wanted? During the 1950s, did the state pay for the patient or did the patient pay themself? Would it be possible to get copies of the patient's record?

It is located on the east side of New 51 across from the U-PICK Strawberry patch just south of Makanda Road. It is marked by 4 huge Oak trees and sits in a field which does not have a road to it, but one can drive up to it. It is kept mowed by family members and has been cared for; there are some unmarked graves in it and some sand stone markers that have no names on them. Sure wish I knew who they are. Story is told many are babies that died at birth and it was never recorded or the records were burned in a house fire. The Vancil family used to have a record of this cemetery, but how complete it was I do not know. sjp
