SOURCE: The 1940 U.S. Census states that in 1935, the family of Chauncy & Ida Maynard resided in the "same house" as in 1940. Their disabled son, Claude, would have also been living with his parents in 1935. . 1940 UNITED STATES FEDERAL CENSUS. Westfield, Plymouth County, Iowa. (Chancey C. Maynard, age 68. Residence in 1935: "Same House." WIFE: Ada H. [Fate] Maynard, age 64. Residence in 1935: "Same House." NOTE: In 1940, their disabled son, Claude S. Maynard, age 42, is listed on the 1940 Census as a resident of the state institution, in Cherokee, Iowa. Therefore, Claude was probably institutionalized sometime between 1935 and 1940). . 1940 UNITED STATES FEDERAL CENSUS. Cherokee, Cherokee, Iowa, United States. (On the 1940 Census, "Claude S. Maynard, age 42, born S.D.," is listed as a patient at the state institution, in Cherokee, Iowa. He was not listed as a resident of the institution in 1935; thus, Claude would have still been living with his parents in 1935. . SOMETIME BETWEEN 1935-1940, Claude was admitted to the Iowa institution for people with cognitive and other disabilities. During that era, no community-based programs existed & state institutions (as deplorable as they were), were typically the only choice when family members were no longer able to provide around-the-clock care for a disabled family member. . Old records indicate that more than 800 patients were buried over the years, in the institution cemetery, in Cherokee, Iowa. However, to date, of those 800+ burials, only a dozen people are currently listed on the Find-A-Grave site as being buried in the institution cemetery, a.k.a., "Beacon Hollow Cemetery," in Cherokee, IA. . The date and place of the death of Claude Solomon Maynard is (as yet), unproven. UNANSWERED QUESTION: Is Claude Maynard amongst the many, many institution patients, who were buried in a grave far away from his parental home, with only an anonymous 'number' to mark his final resting place? What a sorrow this would have been for his family, who had lovingly cared for their disabled son for so many decades, in their own community). . SOURCE: Research of Cathy Porter-Maynard. .
