      Information from Find A Grave:

      Additional information from the death cert. of Aleine Walters is: She was 30 years old and single. Her parents are not listed. Cause of death was pulmonary tuberculosis; duration 4 years. Contributory cause was dementia praecox; duration 15 years. A former resident of Morgan Co., Ky., she had been a patient at Eastern State Hospital for 8 years, 7 months and 9 days. She died there, on the date above, and was buried in their cemetery on August 20, 1942. (Ky. Death Cert. 17651).

      It is possible that the family information on this memorial is incorrect and that instead this is the memorial for Aleine Walters who is the daughter of William Thomas Walters and his wife, Margaret E. Whitaker Walters. In their household in the 1910 census of Morgan Co., Ky. there was a daughter, Alene b. 1903, in Kentucky.

      The currently available information fits both women about equally well.

      See the following link for a detailed history of the hospital where Aleine spent the last 12-15 yr of her life and the rather cavalier manner in which the hospital disposed of the remains of their deceased patients:
