Mrs. Mary Ann Reed died Tuesday
evening at the Retreat for the Insane.
aged ninety-two. Mrs. Reed was adj
mitted to the retreat in 1S45, and had
been in the institution continuously for
fifty-two years. When Charles Dickens
visited the retreat Mrs. Reed was in
il. and the great novelist conversed
with her. 1t is supposed that the con-
versation with patient reported by
Dickens in his American Notes was
that which he had with Mrs Reed. She
was supposed to be the oldest insane
patient in the country. Mrs. Reed was
a native of Long Island, but entered
the retreat from Greenwich, in this
state Her husband was a seafaring
man, and she had no children. Her
relatives died many years ago and
there was no one to care for her. In
view of her extreme age and long resi-
dence in the retreat. she was cared for
without expense and will be buried by
the retreat. She was entered as suf-
fering from mania, but death ensued
from old age, accompanied by demen-
tia.
