WOMAN 40 YEARS IN ASYLUM DIES
County Judge R.C. Rice this morning received notice of the death of Charlotte Anderson, committed as an insane person from this county more than 40 years ago, at the Bartonville institution, near Peoria.
She was sent to a state institution from this county on February 22, 1876. The records of the county show that A.N. Anderson, a friend, petitioned for an insanity hearing. The hearing was held and she was pronounced insane. She was at first taken to Jacksonville but in 1904 was transferred to Bartonville.
As far as is known she had no friends here. County Clerk Frank L. Adams has published notices in both daily papers several times asking if she had friends or relative but he learned nothing. The certificate of death was marked "no friends" and stated that the body had been sent to the Chicago Demonstrating Association.
At the time of her death Miss Anderson was 61 years old. She was but 21 years old when committed and the correspondence in the county court shows that for years the officers of the institutions where she has been confined have been attempting to locate friends because they believed she could live but a short time. One letter written in 1902 said her condition was such that she could last but a very few days.
