You might also look at census records for Knox County during the years that your relative was there. I believe Eastern State is identified and the patients are listed although I don't know if it would have included everyone. As mentioned previously, the hospital is now called Lakeshore Mental Health Institute. It is in the same buildings, same location as before.

At one time it was called Lyons View and on some records I have seen it called the Insane Asylum. BTW, the grounds are beautiful as it sits right on the TN River.
