Unusual Lyon County District Court document, "In the Matter of the Insanity of A. Carlson." Judge C.E. Mack orders that August Carlson, a 38 year old laborer from Sweden, shall be committed to the Nevada Hospital for Mental Diseases. Dated February 6th, 1897. The decision is based off of a complaint filed by Ed Moran. Includes questionnaire filled out by doctors P. Mausou and J.T. Gardner. The answers are interesting. What evidence have you of the presence of insanity? "Irresponsible actions--laughing--taking various medicines for imaginary complaints." Is there any permanent hallucination? "Thinks his mission is to save sinners."Folded, opens to 16 x 20" Some soiling, tears. Fascinating peek into early mental health care. Unsure if they were living in Silver City or Dayton.
