Oklahoma Hospital for the Insane, Supply, OK

"Hello! I just came across your interesting website, through a search for the Oklahoma Hospital for the Insane in Supply, OK. My gg-grandfather, Robert "Barry" Johnson of Miami, OK/Seneca, MO/Arkansas, was a patient at the hospital in 1912. He likely died there that year or the following.

Thanks so much for the reply, and putting the inquiry into your ezine. Since I wrote you the other night, I've found some info, including a listing I think has to be my ggf's burial place (the hospital cemetery), but no month or day of death. The www.usgennet.org - Woodward county website is where I found this list of persons buried in the cemetery. There are also links to other lists of persons thought to be buried in this cemetery, and a little history on the fort/hospital.

Today, I'm hoping to find time to contact the hospital, currently (?) Western State Psychiatric Center at (580)-766-2311, the FHL in Woodward, and Woodward City Library, just in case any of the old records might have survived. An article I read last night (in "Genealogy" magazine?--was at a bookstore) said probate court records (in the home county) are sometimes helpful in searching for someone committed to an "asylum". I'm not sure if this would have been Ottawa Co., OK, or Newton Co., MO or where, so will start with the above first!

We had no clue what became of my "Mamaw's" father until a 1912 letter from the hospital turned up in family papers. Thanks for your website. I'm sure I'll be referring back to it. Thank you for your time reading this." -- Vicki Cochran - Email: aacmom@yahoo.com
