    Louisiana Brown Meeks
    "Lucy Ann"
    May 5, 1863 - Jun 20, 1907



    Louisiana supposedly died at the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville. Following from New Georgia Encyclopedia:
    In 1872 the hospital possessed a ratio of 112 patients per physician, a number that would not improve for almost a century. Central State underwent a dramatic increase in patient population during the second half of the century, when local communities began sending unwanted or problematic residents to the asylum, regardless of their diagnoses. The institution adjusted to this practice by developing increasingly more accurate methods of diagnosis and implementing differentiated ward placements under Superintendent Dr. Theophilus O. Powell, a noted scholar of psychiatry, who served from 1879 to 1907. In 1897 the hospital changed its name to the Georgia State Sanitarium.

    The institution was previously know as the Georgia Lunatic Asylum.
