Hi List! Does anyone know whether the lunacy records for Winston County circa 1890's are available and, if so, where? Would they be at the Chancery Clerk's office in Louisville or the state archives in Jackson? How would I go about finding the court records for when someone was committed, assuming I knew WHEN they were committed? I believe I may have had at least one, maybe even two, relatives committed to the "insane asylum in Meridian" circa 1890. Someone told me this would have been the East Mississippi Hospital. Can anyone give me more information about this hospital, i.e. its full name, where it was located, is it still open, when did it close, etc? I tell ya' what, ya' gotta have a sense of humor to do genealogy! Thanks for your help! Mary K. Johnson [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/look4whittens/
