My Grandmother had a short,tragic life and, I hope she has found peace. She lost her first born, Christine, (not quite 3 yr. old.) She had 3 more children after that, but in 1939, she was admitted to Central State Hospital, Nashville, Tn.(insane asylum) where she remained until her death in 1945. At the time of her admittance her children at home were all under 10 yr. of age. I've often wondered if it was "depression" and not "insanity", that she suffered from.
Please leave a flower, and, say a prayer for her.
Cause of Death: T.B. of lungs and bowels
