Register of Indigent Insane, 1888-1912

 Series

Scope and Contents

Grouped together by first letter of surname, the entries include date received, date discharged, and remarks. The remarks include references to transfers to other institutions, deaths (sometimes with date), and, in at least one instance, elopement of an inmate. Most, if not all, of the entries appear to be for persons delivered by personnel of the Department to the Louisiana Retreat (later De Paul Hospital) on Calhoun St.
