Hi: The Mental Hospital that you refer to is not in Muskogee Co., but in Craig Co. Its name is Eastern State Hospital, Vinata Okla. You can get copies of the medical records of patients of this hopital by writning to them at Eastern State Hospital, Atten Medical Records Dept., PO Box 90 Vinita Ok 74301. They will send you the proper forms to fill out and the address of the Judge to whom to send the documents. The Judge will will then forward the documents to the Mediical records. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 12:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OKMUSKOG] Jennie Spears I am looking for information on Jennie Spears. Jennie Spears was released from Vinita State Hospital, in Muskogee County, in 1964, after serving 42 years of a life sentence for shooting and killing a woman in Haskell County. Jennie was given a life sentence in December of 1922, and sent to McAlester Prison. She was 36 years old at that time. After serving one year at McAlester, she was moved to Vinita State Hospital. In 1963 she was given a one year medical leave. In 1964, her sentence was changed to time served, and she was released. Jennie would have been 78 years of age on her release. I am looking for any information on Jennie, after her release. I am looking for her death date and place of burial. I have no idea what Jennie's maiden name was. I do know that she was born in 1886, but I do not know where. I do know that Jennie was married first to Mr. Jimmie Mykle. That marriage ended in divorce. On July 14, 1914, EH Spears married Mrs. Jimmie Mykle, in Stigler, OK, Haskell County. I know that she and Mr. Spears had a daughter Jewel Spears, born in 1916. Jewel was put up for adoption after Jennie was sentenced. If any one has any information regard this woman, please email me at: [email protected] Please do not send attachments, as I cannot open them. Thank you.
