Thanks you for the information on Hurbert E. Strang. That is interesting that they called them inmates. Thats kinda sad that they refered the patients as inmates.

I remember when I started doing the Strang Genealogy, my Dad told me he could remember going with his Dad (Irvin -- Hurbert was his brother) to the State Home here in Branch Co, Coldwater, MI (now a Male Prison) to visit Hurbert.

I only have one picture of him. He was born with no roof in his mouth.

Not sure what year they transported Hurbert to the Coldwater State Hospital Regional, here in Coldwater, where I live only ten mins. from. This is where Hurbert died (March 29, 1950, at 44) at and was buried by his parents here in Quincy.

He was no dummy. When his Dad would tell him to go out and hitch up the team of horses and wagon, no one could do it better.

HUBERT EUGENE STRANG

The following from my cousin Vivian (Vivian / Irvin / Electa / Jacob)
I don't know much about Uncle Hubert. I know he was born without a roof in his mouth and couldn't talk.

Grandpa and Grandma Strang put him in a state school as he was always doing things he shouldn't do.

We lived in the house across the road from them at the time and Dorothy and I were just little girls then. They were afraid he would harm us. He was retarded. He was in the state school at Lapeer, Mi. and also Coldwater.

I think he died at the one in Coldwater

He was put in an institution. He was very retarded.

He loved music and one time we took him to a band concert in the park, he was about 15 years old. Later, one day he found the musical instruments in the Sears catalog and came with a butcher knife wanting my mother (Ruby) to cut a horn out for him so he could play it.
