Is there anyone familiar with this Institution. I found a death certificate for a cousin who died at this place on my mom's side of the family in 1911. Her death certificate states she died in Columbus and is buried on the Institution Grounds. I have another cousin on my dad's side who died in 1932 and her death certificate states she died at the Institution for Feeble Minded in Orient Village, Scioto Twp, Pickaway County, Ohio. Is there a difference between the two places or did one move at one time. I am curious to find out about this. --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
Hello - Orient and the old Mental Hospital are two different places. The burial grounds for the old Mental Hospital are off West Broad St on the Hilltop. I could find the precise location for you if you like. Orient is south of Columbus. John Gray, Grove City, OH At 09:28 PM 2/28/2008, you wrote: >Is there anyone familiar with this Institution.
