The Pennsylvania Lunatic Asylum may be the present day Harrisburg State Hospital located across the street from the State Farm Show Building on Cameron Street. My gggaunt was institutionalized there as well and her name appears on the census as residing there around the same time period you are talking about. Pam Packer (my Lackawanna roots are on the West Side - names Reynolds, Hughs, Davis, Lyons and Williams. My grandfather grew up on Academy Street and is buried in Washburn St. Cemetery).
