Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 February 1885 — To the Asylum. [ARTICLE]

To the Asylum.

John Henkle was taken to the Insane Asylum, last Thursday, by Sheriff Yeoman, E. P. Honan and .Joseph Henkle, brother of the unfortunate man. He appeared to understand very well where he was going, and was glad to go there, and made no trouble, except that he insisted in exhorting the brethren on the train, which he did at great length and much to their edification. Arriving at the asylum, he recognized the place, and was ready and able to take the lead in showing his companions about the establishment! He also enquired for the doctor who had charge of the asylum when he was last confined there, eight years ago. We hope and believe that we shall soon be able to chronicle Mr Hinkle’s restoration to mental health, and his return to his family.
