Fronnie Fincher
Indigent Insane

Thomas Fincher, having this day filed his petition in writing, verified by 
affidavit, alleging therein that one Fronnie Fincher has shown signs of 
insanity and that she has not sufficient estate or means to support her under 
such visitation of insanity, and praying therein that proper inquiry be mande 
into her mental condition at as early sate (sp?) as may be that she may 
receive the relief provided bt the State of Alabama, for the Indigent Insane. 
And it having been proven by credible witnesses that her own and the public 
welfare demand that she be sent to a Hospital for Insane persons for custody 
and treatment, and I having called before me the following creditable 
witnesses, viz: Geo. Pearce, Hiram Fincher, and Dr. J. D. Terrill, a reputable 
physician, practicing medicne in this state, and having examined them under 
oath and fully investigated the facts of the case  with the said Fronnie 
Fincher not present in court, and sufficient proof having been adduced before 
me to satisfactorily show that the said Fronnie Fincher is insane, and that 
she ought to be committed to a Hospital for Insane persons for safe keeping 
and treatment, and that she has not sufficient means to pay her expenses in 
the Hospital, I therefore commit her to the Bryce Hospital, at Tuscaloosa, 
Alabama, according to instructions received from the Superintendent, as an 
Indigent Insane patient.
	Given under my hand at Mobile, in the County and State aforesaid, this 
23rd day of June 1913.
						P. Williams, Jr., Judge of 
Probate
