While doing some genealogy research, I found that the 1930 Census lists one of my ancestors's sisters as an inmate in the Oklahoma Feeble-minded Institute. I've tried googling it but cannot find any information about it. I'd like to know if it changed it's name is an still in operation or where the records might be stored. I'd also just like a history of the place.

  2. ?NORCE was first known as the Oklahoma Institution for the Feeble

    Minded and place under the direction of four persons approved by the

    Governor to serve two years without salary.  The name of the

    institution remained the same until 1935, when it was changed to the

    Northern Oklahoma Hospital, even though the act that defined it said

    the institution was not a hospital.?
