http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1919ks/s/stottsre.html I have no magic answers, but sometimes when I'm searching I start collecting information which will hopefull put the pieces of the puzzle together. I did see this web page which leads us to believe that the State Hospital was located in Topeka, KS........which is not located in Washington Co., Kansas, but is not too far away. This does not mean that their could not have been a hospital in Washington County. If there was I wonder if it would have been located in the town of Washington. I'll keep a watchful eye for leads. I know my ancestor* had a bad bout of heat stroke with led to epilepsy. I was always told he was eventually sent to a home of epileptics. Well, this past year I finally found him in residence at a state hospital for epileptics located in Parsons, LaBette Co., KS. He died there at the young age of 44 - so sad. I believe the stories I heard were that he was helping his father-in-law** out in the fields near Haddam, Kansas. When I first heard this story I couldn't believe that heat stroke could lead to something so serious. But after discussions with my brother, who was a doctor and died at the age of 43, I learned how serious this situation could be.........so everyone drink lots of water this summer, etc. Penny *James Elias Harvey **Andrew Jackson Myers
