The Centre Founded and Ended, and Portage Manor
The county asylum first, at county-frame size
AUDIT ROW #293 · THE BOUNDARY STATED: THE ASYLUM'S HISTORY IS THE COUNTY RECORD'S
The checklist opens this section with the county asylum, and the banked set already rules the boundary: the asylum's history belongs to the county record, and this article prints the frame at county size and no more. The county's…
The sent-away traffic: the receiving hospitals, named and dated
AUDIT ROW #294 · CENTRAL STATE · LOGANSPORT · THE WESTVILLE ROUTE
Before there was a community centre, there was a train ride: this county's committed patients went to the state hospitals, and the routes are named here at the strength the record gives them. The state's first receiving house was…
Commitment as law: the course of the statute, at statute strength
AUDIT ROW #295 · THE LAW AS IT STOOD, THE DOCKET AS SETTLER
Commitment in Indiana was a court act: a county proceeding, on medical certificates, sending a named person to a state hospital by order — and the county end of that machine is a docket this seat did not read. The statute's arc…
Portage Manor: the county home's whole course, and its second life
AUDIT ROW #296 · CLOSED JULY 31, 2023 · SOLD TO SAINT THOMAS MORE ACADEMY
The 1907 county home outlived its system by decades, and its ending is the best-documented event in this section. The building on Portage Avenue — opened April 4, 1907 (article 1, above) — was renamed the County Home under the…
The community centre, founded: Madison Center, 1949
AUDIT ROW #297 · THE FOUNDING AND THE CATCHMENT, FROM THE SYSTEM'S OWN HISTORY
The community mental health centre for this county was founded in 1949, before there was a federal community-mental-health act to fund one. Madison Center was organized in 1949 as a nonprofit serving a five-county catchment — St.…
The centre's end, as three dated events — not one
AUDIT ROW #298 · SEPTEMBER 24, 2010 · 2011 · THE SUCCESSOR'S CONTINUING PRESENCE
Madison Center did not simply "close"; its end was three separate events in three separate years' records, and this section prints them separately, as the checklist requires. First, the designation was lost: effective 5 p.m. on…
The Advocates: the NAMI Line
AUDIT ROW #299 · THE FAMILY-ADVOCATE ITEM, CLOSED HONESTLY UNDER ITS SETTLER
The checklist's advocate is the family movement — NAMI and its local affiliates — and Walkerton's presence or absence in that movement is not established by any record this seat pulled whole. The honest close is therefore a named…
The consent fight: the county's own case was another district's
AUDIT ROW #300 · TEENSCREEN AND THE RHOADES CASE · BOUNDARY SIZE, HOLDING STATED
The consent fight over school mental-health screening came to this county in federal court — against Penn-Harris-Madison, in Penn Township, not against John Glenn — and it is printed at boundary size as the local equivalent, with…
