I am searching for more information on Frank Klemme who died January 1916 in Philadelphia.  Kirk & Nice funeral home listed his place of death as Philadelphia Hospital and his death certificate listed the place of death as Philadelphia Hospital for the Insane.  Explanations and clarifications appreciated.
