On August 17, 1912 Dr King sent him to the Abilene Epileptic Colony.
Originally established in 1901 as the Abilene Epileptic Colony it was constructed on a 640 acre plot donated by the City of Abilene. In 1925 the name was changed to the Abilene State Hospital but treatment of epileptics remained the sole function of the facility. The 1957 renaming the facility as Abilene State School also signified the new functions of the institution as a residential center for the mentally retarded citizens of Texas.

The facility has a fairly large cemetery and while it is closed to the public, persons with relatives buried there can arrange cemetery visits and gather some information about the deceased.
