- according to census records, the highest grade she completed was 7th
- according to the 1920 & 1930 census, she was an inmate at the Southwestern Insane Asylum in San Antonio, TX
- according to the 1940 census, she was a patient at the San Antonio State Hospital
SAN ANTONIO STATE HOSPITAL:
In 1889 the Texas legislature passed a bill establishing a state mental institution to serve Southwest Texas. The new facility was to occupy at least 640 acres and be capable of housing 500 patients. It was to be known as the Southwestern Insane Asylum.
A site was selected just south of San Antonio, and the new facility began operation on April 6, 1892. In 1925 the word "hospital" was substituted for "asylum" in state asylums, and such adjectives as "insane" and "lunatic" were dropped from their names; the Southwestern Insane Asylum then became the San Antonio State Hospital.
In the first eight months of operation the patient population grew to 142. By August 23, 1894, there were 225 patients. Provisions for 300 more patients were authorized when $70,000 was appropriated in 1898, and in 1910, $100,000 was voted for expansion. By 1912 the facilities could accommodate 1,140, and improvements were valued at $500,000. By 1915 the hospital's capacity was 1,800.
In 1917 a training school for nurses in psychiatry was begun. This school, the only one of its kind in the state system, continued with a three-year course until 1942.
In 1926 the average number of inmates stood at 2,103; the superintendent reported the hospital full and emphasized the need for additional facilities. A social service department was added in 1926, and occupational therapy was expanded.
By 1932 the population had increased to 2,308, and crowded conditions were again reported in 1934.

d: 10.20.1915 in Normangee, Leon Co., Tx age: 23 s/o: Francis Marion & Esther Pauline Anderson Parker Obituary: On the morning of October 20, 1915, Miles Hubert Parker fell on sleep with Jesus. He had been ill for only a short time, and kind hands did all that they could to relieve his suffering. Hubert seemed to realize from the first days of his illness that he was going home, and made earnest appeals to his friends to accept his Savior. As a result of his efforts one young man was saved and joined the church on profession of faith. Hubert was only twenty-two years of age, and had been a member of a Baptist church since he was fourteen. About eighteen months before his death, Hubert had been licensed to preach, and during his illness expressed his desire to make the needed preparation and finish the work he had just begun. One of the most impressive scenes the writer has ever witnessed was when the entire school body marched into the church to pay their last respect to their friend and school mate. - H.B.
