I had a great uncle who was an inmate in "The Sanitarium--The City Insane Asylum" in St. Louis (ward 24) in 1910. Does anyone know if only insane people were staying there, or if it was a catch-all institutution for people with other illnesses etc. My great uncle funtioned as a tinner in a tin shop in all of the censuses 1880-1930 with the exception of the 1910 census. Thanks, Lynne in Va. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
