Hannah Cooper: Crazy as a Hawk

AMOS COOPER > JOHN L COOPER >  HANNAH H COOPER
Elgin Asylum
This small mention of the life and times of Hannah Cooper, who died at the young age of 45 during a brief stay at Elgin Insane Asylum in Illinois. Living with her single brothers and parents as of the 1880 census in Stephenson County, Illinois, it's likely she was still with the brothers remaining in  the area in 1891.

She died on 16 May 1891, after being committed only two weeks previously.
