My l grandmother was admitted to the State Hospital in Ingleside, NE believe in 1936 and died there in 1939 at the age of 51. She is buried in Edison, NE but what I am really interested in finding out what her diagnosis was when she was admitted. My aunts told me a little about it but not much. My father was only 5 years old when his mother was admitted and raised by his older sisters and various family members. Now they are all deceased.ReplyDelete
My grandmothers name was Sophia Anna Roepke Rhodes born May 29, 1888
Thank you

My uncle was admitted there in 1942 and died shortly thereafter in Jan 1943 of tertiary syphillis. Prior to being admitted there, he had been brought back from Brooklyn and spent a few months in a Omaha hospital where he was treated with mercury and heavy metals, probably contributing to his demise. We obtained his records by procuring a lawyer who supoened them. This was 10 or so years ago, so maybe things have changed.Delete

Approx 5 yrs ago I attempted to learn more regarding my great aunt who died at Norfolk State Hospital in 1937 (17 yo), however I was told that due to HIPA laws and regulations they couldn't provide me with any information without a court order. Eventually I was able to learn that she is buried in the new cemetery, and that a Catholic priest and her family was in attendance.Delete
Unfortunately the personal records of inmates of Ingleside are not available. Have you tried writing to the Hastings Regional Center? As far as I know they won't release the information, but one can always try. Good luck!ReplyDelete
My great grandmother was located in the Norfolk Asylum and I do believe died there in 1917. Do you know if any of Norfolk information has been released? I have heard there might be an organization that is trying to mark the graves at Norfolk.ReplyDelete
Mike ... contact to the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln, Nebraska. http://www.nebraskahistory.org.ReplyDelete
Hello Ruby -ReplyDelete
My great-grandmother was an inmate in Norfolk in 1888 - transferred from Lincoln Asylum when the new hospital was built. We very much would like to know if there are records we can see of her diagnosis and care. Do you have any suggestions? She died in october of 1888, not that long after she was transferred to Norfolk. The story is that she was buried on a hill north of Columbus (where she was from) - I read that there was a very old burial site there which included early town people, and some who were on the trail going west. Are you familiar with this place?
thanks for this site -
Lois ... normally the information you need is not of public record. I would be surprised if you can find anything. I would suggest you contact the genealogy society in Columbus to see if they might be of help. They are:ReplyDelete

Hi Ruby,ReplyDelete
Your blog is very helpful and informative regarding records from Hastings. Do you know anything about Lincoln Regional Center in Lancaster County? I had a relative who resided in that facility from 1880 until her death which I believe was between 1900 and 1907.....do you think I would have any luck finding her discharge/death date if I contacted the facility?
You should go ahead and contact them to see if they have records. You could also contact the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln, Nebraska.ReplyDelete

Hi Ruby,ReplyDelete
My great grandmother died at the Norfolk State Hospital at 69 in 1946 and was listed as one of the inmates on the 1930 census. Is there any agency to contact for further information?

|A police officer kicks a protester in Rabat
In Casablanca, where an estimated 15,000 people joined in protest, police forces blocked off the streets and sent in truncheon-wielding squads in to subdue the crowds.
The government maintains that the demonstrations have been banned and that the police force's actions are sanctioned due to the protester's "provocative" actions. Morocco has a history of allowing protests when they make formal applications to demonstrate, which the youth movement has not done.
European Union spokesperson Natasha Butler said "We are concerned about the violence used....We call for restraint in the use of force and respect of fundamental freedoms....We call on Morocco to maintain its track record in allowing citizens to demonstrate peacefully. We are following these demonstrations very closely, and encourage all parties to engage in a peaceful dialogue with a view to finding solutions to the issues raised by the demonstrators." Protesters have been calling for more democratic freedoms and job opportunities, as well as improved social conditions.
In the midst of my celebration of Morocco this month, it is sobering to consider the violence and tension that exists throughout the region and the many Moroccans who have been injured and lost loved ones in the midst of their fight for the freedoms I so blissfully take for granted. I'm glad this blog has given me the opportunity to not only explore the cushy topics related to cultural understanding, but to also recognize the reality that many Moroccans face.

Dear Editor:
One year ago, a group of Iowa scientists collaborated to prepare a position statement on climate change in which we expressed our concern regarding this environmental issue. This statement was signed by numerous state scientists and was disseminated to political candidates running for office in this fall's election. In the midst of this summer's extremely severe drought, this group once again collaborated to produce a position statement on climate chance and the drought of 2012.
Unlike the first document that was disseminated only to political candidates, this summer's statement was prepared for dissemination to the citizens of Iowa. I urge you to read the following statement with an open mind and consider the information presented in it. Keep in mind that his is the product of a group of scientists who live in Iowa and work for institutions and businesses with the state
Iowa Climate State-The Drought of 2012
As science faculty and research staff at Iowa universities and colleges, we have confidence in recent findings that climate change is real and having an impact on the economy and natural resources of Iowa. We feel that it is important for citizens of Iowa to understand its implications. Iowans are living with climate change now and it is costing us money already. The drought that we are currently experiencing is consistent with an observed warmer climate, although scientists cannot say with certainty that the drought of 2012 was caused directly by human activities. The following observations support the case that more droughts and floods are likely in the future.
1.Globally over the past 30 years, there is clear statistical evidence that extreme high temperatures are occurring disproportionately more than extreme low temperatures. The climate likely will continue to warm due to increasing global emissions and accumulation of greenhouse gases.
2.In a warmer climate, wet years get wetter and dry years get dryers. And dry years get hotter - that is precisely what happened in Iowa this year. We can expect Iowa to experience higher temperatures when dry weather patterns predominate. The latest science, based on overwhelming lines of physical evidence, indicates we can expect dry periods to be more frequent as soon as the 2020s.
3.Iowa also has experienced an increasing frequency of intense rains over the past 50 years (Iowa Climate Change Impacts 2010, www.iowadnr.gov), likely due to a higher surface evaporation in a warmer world. Because of these extremes in precipitation (drought and flood), Iowans will increasingly need infrastructure to adapt to climate fluctuations while developing and implementing mitigation.
As global citizens, Iowans should be a part of the solution. We can prosper, create jobs, and provide an engine for economic growth in the process (Iowa Climate Change Advisory Committee 2008 report, www.iaclimatechange.us). Iowa should lead innovation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improve resilience in agriculture and communities, and move towards greater energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy.
As one of the 138 scientists who worked on this project and who have signed this statement, I am concerned about this issue and the impact that it will have on me and the rest of the citizens of Iowa. Hopefully, this statement will open channels for an honest and unbiased discussion on climate change and serve as a beginning point for a better understanding of the science behind this environmental concern. If we choose to ignore what the vast amount of data that has been obtained by scientists who are studying climate change is telling us and continue to write this issue off as a hoax, we are doing a huge disservice to both ourselves and the rest of humanity.

Cheeky Prince Harry Just Challenged Usain Bolt To A Re-Match
Prince Harry has a 2-0 record against Usain Bolt on the track, so it's no surprise the cheeky prince challenged the world's fastest runner to another dual after Rio.
The pair met back in 2012 when Harry visited Jamaica and he used a few tricks to get an edge on Bolt...
But it just makes us love the Prince even more.
We're not so sure Usain would go as easy on Harry this time around.
Congratulations @usainbolt - now you're officially the greatest you might be ready for a re-run! 😉 Happy 30th -H. pic.twitter.com/Wa0yOZMDc2— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) August 21, 2016
Maybe best of five instead?
Let's do it. Respect for the bday wishes https://t.co/HS6wGKrD86— Usain St. Leo Bolt (@usainbolt) August 22, 2016
Meanwhile, Harry's brother, Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge had a much more understated way of congratulating the athletes in Rio.

text: Based on the turn-of-the-century play Our Two Consciences by Paul Anthelme, Hitchcock's I Confess is set in Quebec. Montgomery Clift plays a priest who hears the confession of church sexton O.E. Hasse. "I...killed...a man" whispers Hasse in tight closeup--and, bound by the laws of the Confessional, Clift is unable to turn Hasse over to the police. But police-inspector Karl Malden has a pretty good idea who the guilty party is: all evidence points to Clift. It seems that the dead man had been blackmailing Anne Baxter, who was once in a factually innocent, but seemingly exploitable compromising position with Clift. Tried for murder, Clift is released due to lack of evidence, but he is ruined in the eyes of the community. Then it is Hasse's turn to make that One Fatal Error. I Confess is frequently dismissed as a lesser Hitchcock, due mainly to the quirky performance of Montgomery Clift (who, it is said, steadfastly refused to take direction). Today, four decades removed from its on-set intrigues, the film has taken its place as one of the best of Hitchcock's "between the classics" efforts. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Epic Games has declared that the Hammerburst and Lancer Avatar props are going to be removed on January 1, 2012, as part of a new anti-gun policy. Microsoft will be barring any Avatar proper that resembles a firearm. Gotta protect those kids while they're playing Halo and Gears!
If you bought these items already, you will be able to keep them, but there will be no more "gun-like" items on sale in the Avatar Marketplace.
Microsoft has a strange list of things that Avatars cannot have or do, pretending there's some iconic image to uphold like Mickey Mouse. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not realize that Avatars aren't childhood heroes on par with Disney characters. They're pointless little monstrosities, and having guns was about the only interesting thing going for them.

Two die after motorcycle crash
Two people died in a motorcycle accident in Pine County on I-35 near Willow River on Independence Day.
According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS), there were no road deaths in 2012 on July 4, but 19 road deaths over the last year, which makes it the state's deadliest day of the year on roads in Minnesota.
Authorities were called on July 4 around noon to the northbound lane of I-35 near mile marker 203, a few miles south of Willow River. A 57-year-old Ramsey man, Terrance Armstrong, was driving a 2000 Harley-Davidson motorcycle when he lost control and crashed. His passenger, 47-year-old Kari Armstrong, also of Ramsey, was seriously injured.
Life Flight was called for the injured. The woman was air lifted to St. Mary's in Duluth where she died. The man was also airlifted to St. Luke's in Duluth where he died. Neither victim was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Traffic was backed up to south of Sandstone. Near the injury site, people on the highway were seen walking outside their vehicles due to the delay.
The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating the accident. The cause of the crash is undetermined at this time.

Reported: 8/20/2003 4:26:31 PM 16:26
Posted: 8/28/2003
Location: Kelowna (Canada), BC
Shape: Other
Duration:approx: 30 min.
|Missing Time In Kelowna, British Columbia.
The story is real but the names in this report are fictitious for obvious reasons.
Pat - Driver of the car.
Linda - Passenger and friend.
Date: July 31, 2003 (Thursday) Time: Between 1:00 a.m. & 2:00 a.m.
Today, Monday - August 18, 2003 I received a telephone call from Pat who lives in Kelowna, British Columbia. The lady was very upset and had a time speaking of the event that took place with her and a close female friend of hers. She told me today that a friend had brought over a newspaper article which was run in the Kelowna Capital Newspaper. The headline read "Seeking Witnesses to UFO." which showed up on August 15, 2003.
Here is her story.
She tells that her and her friend are having a very hard time dealing with what took place. Also another couple who live in the area watched an aerial craft hovering close to the location where the two ladies had parked there car at the side of the highway and gave confirmation to the incident, or at least witnessed an object.
At approx: 12:05 a.m., July 31, 2003 the two ladies were playing around on the computer when Linda said, we haven't done any star gazing in a long time....so Pat the lady who contacted me said, you're right, lets go out and do some star gazing. They left home at 12:05 a.m. heading out to an area where they would get a look at the clear night sky without having lights to obscure their view. Pat drove to Glenmore which is north from where she lives and is on the back road heading to Winfield from Kelowna, B.C.
They were driving along and Pat reported that there was quite a bit of traffic for that time of the night but after they decided to stop just off to the side of the road to see what they might notice, the traffic stopped coming. There was not a light from any vehicles, not anything other than a very dark stretch of road. Pat grabbed her flashlight and shone it into the sky as she has done this in the past. Her friend Linda has the binoculars on the other side of the car scanning the starry night sky. They were there only a minute out of the car when her Linda said, this is really strange. There are three stars up in the sky and formed into a triangle shape. All three lights at this time were solid white. Both ladies watched as the three white lights started moving, but moving together. The witness with the binoculars said stars don't do that, and Pat replies, of course not..... as she thought it may have been a plane or something. Linda replies, no this is not a plane as the lights were changing color to a neon green and the object had stopped and hovered just ahead of their car.
Pat turned the headlights off, and shone her flashlight down the road in front of her car. They were worrying about animals such as a bear, cougars, etc.. being around in this isolated area. As she shone the light up the road both of the women spotted something which frightened them a lot. Five sets of eyes staring at approx: 40 feet away from them. As frightened as they were, their first thoughts were of coyotes or some other wild animal, but she said once you really look your brain takes it in.
Pat describes the creatures as being roughly four feet tall, dark gray shoulders and coming towards the women. Pat said "I was so scared I could hardly talk and could hardly breathe". She yelled to her friend Linda, "get in the car, get in the car". Pat said they both scrambled to get back into the vehicle but she said it was like moving through quicksand and it felt horrible. Being so terrified and trying to move as fast as they possibly could, it felt as if everything was slowing down around them.
Once they were both back in the car, Pat tried to turn the ignition on so she could get the power windows up. But all the electrics on the car was failing. The dome light, headlights were going off and on, on their own and as she said. "Everything was going nuts" ! Finally the car started and they turned around in the middle of the road and sped off towards home and as they traveled along they noticed a fair bit of traffic coming in their direction. (Pat commented to me, where was all the traffic when all this was happening?) As they drove along the road, Pat said to Linda, "this is the weirdest thing. "She said I feel like electricity, my whole body is tingling just like I was zapped by a charge from a battery". When Linda heard this, she said, "I didn't want to say anything to you as you might think I was nuts, but I am feeling the same. As if I was hit by an electrical charge." As Linda was explaining how she felt, and facing Pat she glanced at the clock in car and said, "Jesus Pat, look at the time" ! Pat said what are you talking about ? Linda said we were only stopped and out of the car for a few minutes at the most, and the time of the car's clock reads an extra 25 minutes of time.
As they drove along and close to home they both discussed it and wondered if they had imagined it all.
As they were just about home, they turned onto Baker Street which is covered in darkness next to a field. All of a sudden they saw this bright, glowing neon green ball low in the sky. The object started moving to the right, "stop", left, "stop", right, "stop", left, "stop" and then it started to move away until the ladies car came to a halt, and so did the object. Before they knew it, the ball of green light started heading towards them at a high rate of speed and hovered high above their car. At this point they just wanted to get to their home and be as far away from whatever it was as possible.
The driver sped off quickly again and they headed into an orchard which was very close by. They thought they would not be seen hiding amongst the trees, plus there was no lighting in this area to reveal their position. Pat looked at her friend and said, "they will never find us here". Both women are sitting in the car trying to get themselves together as the driver said she was losing it at this point. Only after a very short time after arriving in the orchard Linda said, Pat you better look out the front windscreen and look up slightly. We don't have just one green ball of light, there are now three, glowing green objects. The way the green lights were in the sky, it looked as if the they formed a triangle formation and all moving now together. After a short period of time each of the green lights moved away in different directions.
(HBCC UFO asked if the witness could give some idea of how large the green lights were. The witness told me each of the lights were approx: half the size of a full moon). After seeing the lights flying off into different directions the ladies raced home as quickly as they possibly could.
Once safe at home, both ladies shaken, they tried to come up with some reasonable explanation for what just happened. They tried to put it out of their minds but that was impossible !!!! Later on both ladies turned in for the night and when they woke up in the morning, Pat discovered a large bruise on her left breast and another on the bottom of her foot. She did not know how they got there but she did know they were extremly painful.....
As she sat drinking a cup of coffee Linda finally got up and was walking down the hall towards the kitchen when she said, "god, good morning - do I feel rough this morning". After Linda finished saying that ....Pat watched as blood came pouring from Linda's nose. Pat jumped up, ran and grabbed a towel. Linda also commented that she was having a lot of pain in her lower back area. She asked Pat to have a look to see if there was anything that could be seen. So she looked and gasped, there was a large circle burned into her skin and was located in the middle, lower back area (tail bone). Also bruises were found on Linda's body as well, some of them appeared to look like finger marks and there were three of them on each thigh. Both women at this point were shocked, upset and very frightened.
Linda, who was up visiting from the Abbotsford ended her holiday and headed back home. Two days after being home in Abbotsford, B.C. she went to consult her family doctor due to still experiencing the terrible pain which was originating from her lower back, plus it was not getting any better. Her doctor examined her, and her injury to her back, the doctor said if I didn't know any better I would say you have a radiation burn. He was of course referring to the burn mark on Linda's back. The doctor is still trying to heal this mark on her back, as something had burned right through the outer layer of this ladies skin.
(HBCC UFO Note:I will be keeping in contact with the witness to this event and hope I may be able to help in some small way).
Update to this Story: On the night this frightening experience took place, another couple who couldn't sleep decided to go out for a walk on the warm evening. They looked up at times into the night sky, and all of a sudden they noticed a bright glowing neon colored light. The couple also added that the light was moving in the strangest way, by coming to a complete stop, moving again, stopping and then moved off very quickly. The light was seen in the same vicinity where the ladies had been stopped at the side of the road.
This sounds like it gives confirmation to what the ladies saw that night.
HBCC UFO Research Foot note: I would recommend to anyone finding such marks as described here in this report, that they consult a professional, such as their family doctor. One has to remember that they do not have to walk in to the doctor's office and make claims of missing time, or possible abduction. Let you doctor come up with the answers. Also there are some very good people who carry out work in the abduction field, and I will be very happy to put you in contact with such folks if you would like. Just write to me and request that I do so, and give me permission to pass your personal information along.
I would also like to add, this Missing Time event took place around the same date 147 witnessed watched one amazing event unfold in southeastern British Columbia. I also received a flood of sighting reports which also came from this area. July 27/28 to August 18, 2003.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to write me an email.

Help Needed w/Longies
First, she says center-back & center-front, but center-back is in the middle of the short row? So does she really mean this, or do the hip increases actually go on either side of the short rows?
Second, she's asking for 30 rows of increases--is that right? It seems like a lot.
Thanks in advance--I'm cloth diapering & have fallen in love with wool--
