I am researching the life of Nellie (VAN EVERY - EIGHMEY),
CEASE, PETERSON, BOLL. She was the illegitimate child of
Adella (WRIGHT) SHELTERS, TAFT, born in Jamestown, NY, on
May 01, 1876.

After Nellie's birth, she was given to Adella's older sister
and her husband to raise. Lucy R.(WRIGHT) and Peter EIGHMEY.

In March of 1898, seven months pregnant, Nellie marries
Adelbert CEASE. She was 21, he was 46. Two months after
they married, their first child was born. Six months after
that, a second child was born...only to live for 2 days.
In September of 1901, Nellie gave birth to a daughter.

Shortly after the birth of their daughter, Nellie was sent
to either a prison, or an asylum, for a period of 12 years.
I am trying to discover where she was sent, and why...
