Larned State Hospital for the Criminally Insane

Date
29 Jan 1921

Location
Larned, Pawnee, Kansas, USA

Description:
Her husband was married in 1930 census to Josephine Gertrude Roby, mom in 1930 was 76 years old living in Kansas State Soldiers Home and died 1934, and her only living sibling went west. Like Patton, Larned was for criminals not just your typical Boo Radley harmless insane person. What happens next? That's a mystery yet to be solved. I never found Annis death. What happened to her? Did she die in the asylum? Or did she go back to Kansas? I couldn't find anymore records for her.

I found this but I doubt it's her
