Marge - There's a whole library of books that couldl be written about the
asylums. Thanks for the stories.

What about Agnews? I've found family on both sides (explains one or two
things!) who were in Agnews at census-taking time. One died of tb shortly
after. Was Agnews always just a mental hospital, or did it have other
wards?

Can anyone recommend a book on Agnews?

Pat.
