Joseph Gouden Dead 
Man Found Some Time Ago in Filthy Condition, Dies at Warren 
Insane Hospital

Word was received here Saturday morning of the death of 
Joseph Gouden of the State Hospital for the Insane at 
Warren, Pa., Saturday morning.  Joseph Gouden was the young 
man found some months ago with his mother at their home in 
Summerhill Township.  They were indescribably filthy and 
had to be thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected.  Mrs. Gouden 
died soon after being taken to the Almshouse.  A jury of 
six appointed by Judge O'Connor decided that Joseph Gouden 
was unable to take care of the Gouden Estate and R. D. 
Evans of this place, was appointed a committee to look 
after the man and his property.  Gouden was then sent to 
the institution at Warren.  The remains of Joseph Gouden 
were buried beside those of his mother at New Germany on 
Monday.
