Hi Jenny :) The hospital this refers to must be the Anna State Hospital,,,now called Choate Mental Health. Not only those who were deamed "insane" were sent there, but those who had no where to go were sent there (those with no relatives). The "infected milk" you state may be the same as "milk sick" that I have seen before in death records. Good luck with your search :) --Kathryn, Murphysboro, IL
