great grandmother Carrie Bybee Agnew

I have filed for the medical records of my great grandmother, Carrie Bybee Agnew, who died in the Madison State Hospital for the Mentally Insane, in 1916. She was admitted sometime after the 1910 census, where she was still living at home, a widow of 4 years. I know from cemetary records that she died of some sort of “brain hemorrage” and was returned to New Albany to be buried next to her husband, my great grandfather, James Agnew, who died in a fall off a ladder, while painting a house with one of his sons, in 1906. This all takes place where they lived out their adult lives, southern Indiana.
