Marcus Aurelius Bland, son of Colin Bland (1810-1853) of Virginia and Texas and Aurelia Stafford of New York.
Sadly, Marcus' uncle Edward Parke Bland, a St. Louis physician, would have prevented his commitment and lonely death.

A LUNATIC'S DEATH
Coroner SIMMs to-day held an inquest on the body of MARCUS BLAND, at the County Lunatic Asylum, of which deceased was an inmate. From the testimony of a nurse it appears that on October 22, while undergoing the process of having his head bathed under a hydrant, BLAND was seized with convulsions, which continued without intermission until death. No physician was summoned until after he was dead. The jury rendered a verdict of death from epileptic convulsions, which was in accordance with an autopsy made by Dr. R.L. PARSONS.
