SIXTY YEARS IN ALMSHOUSE INSANE.
BEREFT OF SIGHT. SPEECH. HEARING

Rhoda Derry, generally known
throughout the state as 'Rhody," died
at Bartonville asylum for the insane
a short time ago.
There was time more than half a
century ago when Rhody was young
and rosy and happy and healthy as any
girl in Illinois. She died the other day
blind and deaf and dumb and crippled
and hopelessly insane.
1t was when she was still a robust
young woman hardly % years of age
that some hereditary faint in her blood
some remote disorder transmitted by
some long dead and gone ancestor per
haDs, suddenly manifested itself, and
all at once poor Rhody changed from
n merry girl to a raving maniac AS
the terrible malady progressed she
grew more and more violent. and one
day in a fearful parOXysm she tore out
her eyeballS with her own fingers
Hearing went next and then speech,
and then came a paralysis of all the
limbs. The once gay girl became a
mere living hulk. destitute of a sense
of senses. For 60 years that horrible
remnant of humanity has been taken
