ADEN, Jans H. - d. Salem, Oregon 1922
I found the name of Jans H. ADEN on a list of names circulated by Oregon State Hospital patient memorial workgroup.
From the late 1800s to the 1970s the bodies of patients that were not claimd by family after their deaths at the mental hospital were burned and put into copper canisters/urns and then labeled and put on a shelf in an abandoned part of the hospital. The Oregon State Hospital, a mental facility, has been in Salem for about 123 years. If anyone thinks that their relative may be on the list of people that have gone unclaimed, please contact me at LiMaSum@aol.com and I'll look on the list. Or the list may still be available in pdf format online. You'll have to have adobe acrobat to read it.
This is the available info on the above mentioned:
ADEN, Jans H. _ vol.2G _ 10-7-1922 _ age 70
So evidently they were living at the mental hospital in Salem, Oregon in 1922.
