During Roberta's lifetime, treatment for the illness was sparse. I hope you find a death record for her.LindaRehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968656842601664293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318115198770950894.post-50042165489376747542013-10-28T18:31:22.105-07:002013-10-28T18:31:22.105-07:00Thanks Luckie, I truly hope so!

Over the years my mother has asked me to try and locate Roberta's death record, but I haven't had luck in doing so. I do wonder if she was ever Institutionalized..perhaps I can check for Hospitals during that time period.<br /><br />TerrenceTerrence A.T.

Who knows technology + their clues, might lead to Roberta's mysteries being unveiled.

I also like how you shared everyone's perspective on her life and well-being too --- very nice touch! <br /><br />I actually could not find any information about my paternal great-grandfather, Henry Newsome, for many years. Then finally his death certificate appeared on FamilySearch. He died while a patient at the Austin State Hospital, which is something NO ONE in my family even mentioned when I often asked about him. It wasn't until folks realized I had a copy of his death certificate which revealed where he was and what was wrong with him did I start to hear about his mental illness. <br /><br />So keep searching . . . information about what really happened to her will come to light!Liv Taylor-Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616092814156827360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318115198770950894.post-2486974011403789952013-10-28T18:15:11.479-07:002013-10-28T18:15:11.479-07:00Thank you Vicky!Thank you Vicky!Terrence A.T.

I believe some relative (especially those that are older) don't tell everything they know and tend not to talk about anything unpleasant. I look forward to reading what else you may find out about Roberta.Erlaine Dickenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328628087673008840noreply@blogger.com
