<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, I didn't know that one could even get info
from Hawthorne. I have seen a lot of ads for this place in the old Oregonian
newspapers. My great great aunt died there in 1894. She was only 30 but I don't
know why she was committed. In the ads it says it is a hospital for the insane.
I will be interested in the responses you get. Thanks for asking the question.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just received a Hawthorne Asylum record
from the Oregon State Archives. Todd (nice and helpful) said the
records are very sparce. I am wondering if anyone has information on the
Hawthorn Asylum, where it was and why people went there.</FONT></DIV>
