'Crazy on Religion'
| Weston State Hospital, 1892 Source: WV History on View |
In my last blog, I brought up a list of reasons why one may have been admitted to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in the 1800s. While ‘superstition’ was the focus of the story of Mrs. Callahan, today’s tale is inspired by another ‘condition’ listed: Religious Excitement.
According to the 21 April 1892 edition of The Buckeye (a newspaper from Troy, Ohio), Miss Rose Hardy was the engaged daughter of a wealthy and well-respected citizen near Parkersburg, West Virginia. Some time before her wedding, however, Miss Hardy attended a series of religious meetings, that for whatever reason, left her ‘insane.’
She went missing from her home, and after a few days, was found in the woods, suffering from exposure. After being formally adjudged insane by the court, she was admitted to the Weston Asylum, also known as the Weston State Hospital or Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any further information on Miss Rose Hardy. However, I hope that she was able to overcome her condition, and go on to happily marry and live a full life outside of the asylum walls. It does make ya wonder, though…what exactly broke in her mind to cause this condition, and what exactly was going on at these religious meetings that would lead to a young woman losing her mind??
*I’ve got a few more upcoming blogs about the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, many that will focus on the alleged ghosts who haunt this fascinating and spooky old building. Until then, check out my page, TALA TALES, for many more blogs on this topic!*
