Meridian Inmates?
Posted by: winnie (ID *****2372) Date: April 23, 2007 at 16:05:23

Searching for a surname, I found her on 1920 Lauderdale MS
Census, at Meridian, as 'Inmate.' She was 60+ yrs and another woman was 84 yrs! There were at least 102 'inmates' both men and women.
Several were in their 70's, and down as young as 16 yrs.

Question: Is this 1920 Census List for a Mental Hospital, or other? If a hospital,is it still in existence?
Thanks for any information.
