May of 1889, a warrent for the arrest of Guilford E. Brown was issued by the county clerk of Iroquois County, IL B. F. Price, to have him conveyed to Eastern Illinois Hospital for the Insane.
On Oct. 14, 1889, Sarah Brown, wife of Guilford, wrote to the Hon. County Judge of Watseka, IL. to have Arthur W. Frogge appointed conservator of the her husband's property. However, he was never qualified and was never appointed.
In October 1899, Guilford presented to the court that in July 1888, he was judged insane. That Arthur W. Frogge was appointed conservator for him but the appointment was never made because Frogge did not qualify for such and no appointment was ever made.
He petitioned that further, he was at the time of being adjudged insane, committed to the Eastern Illinois Hospital for the Insane, that about the 10th day of June, 1897, the authorities of the said Hospital refused longer to keep him in custody and he was transferred to the county Farm of the said county of Iroquois, where he remained until August, 1897, when he was discharged.
The petitioner shows unto this court that for the past two years he has been perfectly restored to his reason, and is entirely rational in all and every respect, that since that time he has done business for himself and one of his sons in farming and handling, managing and selling stock of various kinds, and that he now requests a hearing to be officially declared to be restored to his reason.
Your petitioner represents that he is the owner of some land in said county, which he desires to dispose of in order to give proper and sufficient title. He asks that the proceedings may be had and prays that upon a hearing thereof he may be adjudged to be fully restored to reason , and have the care, management and control of the said property.
Signed: Guildford D. Brown,
2nd day of October, 1899.
The Brown cemetery was on the Hoekstra farm and in 1965, Mr. Hoekstra paid someone with a bulldozer to plow it under including the tombstones so he could farm the land!
