You might try the state archives...I had a similar situation in Indiana, and was able to get copies of her medical records from the 1930's.  Very interesting reading! --- On Wed, 5/12/10, gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> wrote: From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Subject: [OHFRANKL] Ohio Institution for Feeble Minded To: OHFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 9:39 PM This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

His father was VanLero Hague. I know that sometime he was at the Allen County's Childrens Home before going to the Feeble Minded Institute.  Any help with this mystery would be greatly appreciated or any where that someone may be able to point me to would be greatly appreciated.
