Julia was arrested in Carroll County, KY on suspicion of firesetting, in Nov 1868. She was admitted to this asylum soon after and spent the next 61 years here.
Her death was attributed to chronic nephritis (kidney disease) and a spot of gangrene on one of her heels.
She was thought at the time of her passing to be a widow from Indiana, but the census records at the asylum all list her as having been born in KY and those that mention her marital status indicate she was single. She is consistently noted to have been born in 1838 or 1839.
