[or-roots] Hawthorne Asylum and Lone Fir Cemetery

[Paulette]

Regarding the Hawthorne Asylum, I can't remember if everyone was done with this topic, or if this was discussed in detail, but the Oregon State Archives has a white binder with photocopied pages about "Mental Health and Developmental Disability Services Division, Administrative Overview that refers to Hawthorne Asylum, AKA "Oregon Hospital for the Insane." There are copies of handwritten lists of males and females who were transferred from Hawthorne Asylum to the new hospital. "In October of 1883, 372 patients were transferred from the Hawthorne Asylum to the new asylum" (state hospital for the insane in Salem). Maybe this was already covered...

>> funeral, burial information for Moses F. Drake because he died in Portland 
>> in 1905, and there was no family informant at all on the death cert. #317. 
>> He is identified as "single." He had lived in Oregon for 12 years.
>>
>> He was married in 1858 IL, and divorced from Phoebe Halstead Drake in 1890 
>> WA. I got the divorce papers from WA State Library, and they are so sad;

>>
>> My husband knew nothing about his great grandmother Melissa Adelia "Della"

>> descendants of their son Ira Chandler Drake (Melissa's older brother) that 
>> I correspond with have no information on Moses F. Drake. He is not in the 
>> family group sheets, and one of them only knew of him as M.F. or F.M. 
>> Drake. After 1890 in WA, he like disappeared...
