Subject: Ggrandmother's incapacitation


: Wow! You folks are terrific! I have not even submitted my mystery yet,
: and the response to
: my question regarding the "attachments", has been wonderful! Thank you
all
: for your kind
: attention.
:
: Now, here is my mystery:
:
: My great grandmother was seven months pregnant, when my great grandfather
: (finally) married her.
: Two months after they married, my great uncle was born. Six months after
: that, another child
: was born to them, but lived only a few days. My grandmother was born a
: year after the second
: child. That was in 1901. They lived in Western NY state, very close to
: the PA border.
:
: My grandmother was only 2 months old, when something 'horrible' happened.
: I don't know what
: happened, but, my great grandmother was incapacitated for a period of 12
: years. She was finally
: released, in 1913.
:
: I have been trying to find out WHERE she was, and WHY she was sent there.
: I have also been
: trying to find out where my grandmother was. (This subject was never
: discussed. It was a
: very shameful issue). (I do know, that my ggrandfather did not raise the
: two kids). I have
: searched all of the on-line orphanage rosters, in the state of PA., for
the
: year 1901. No
: luck.)
:
: I have read most of the newspaper abstracts, from that terrific web-site:
:
http://www.newspaperabstracts.co
: m
: but, I see no mention of her...anywhere. I know that in those days, the
: newspaper reporters
: did not hesitate to write about the folks that the local judges "deemed
: insane".
:
: To me, it seems that if she were punished for an action, that sent her
away
: for 12 years, it
: would be published somewhere...
:
: This is my mystery. Thanks for your time.
: Kathy
