This is a photo I took yesterday, September 30, 2006, of the Bartonville Insane Asylum . It is not longer and in use and has not been used since the 1960's some time. Recently someone found the this cemetery and did redo the Veterans graves in it or rather the known. I'm just learning about this cemetery and wanted to post them on here for you. They will be thumbnails so you can click on for a bigger view. The one on the upper left is and awesome photo of this abandoned Insane Asylum.  This is all I saw left of the building. Have photos all around this building and will make a separate page on them. Want to thank my cousin, Richard, and my father's old army buddy, George & Jean Brown for such a wonderful day we had there.

Kate is standing on what appears to be a concrete footing for a fence post with the number one stone in front of her. I cut off her head. My poor darling. But love her anyways.
