Yes, I’m finally back after a long break and immediately found something interesting to report. I knew my great grandfather George Hutchings died in the Maidstone Lunatic Asylum (as it was then called), but did not know why he was admitted. Then I came across this picture (courtesy of lenaandrews1 at Ancestry.com) and all was explained. Those were hard times!
