What happens to the grave sites when these buildings are torn down? Is there any site that you could research the history of the patients? I had a great aunt who was committed to an asylum over a hundred years ago while she was a child. Her condition was diagnosed then as melancholy, I guess today it is called depression. I found out she died at the hospital and was buried at it cemetery. When the building was torn down some forty or years ago they tore up the grave yard and made one mass grave for all the remains.
I sometimes wonder about this young girl who died at the age of twenty one. Being family and all. It's like finding a piece of a puzzle that you did not even know you were missing.
