Bob, I know nothing about this family, my Westalls so far being firmly routed in UK. However, as a nurse, I may have something to add to your email. Elizabeth Westall was noted as insane, and also suffering from general paralysis. Try 'Googling' General Paralysis of the Insane, it might give you an insight into your great uncle as well as your great aunt!
