Wisconsin. County Court (Sheboygan County).

Sanity proceedings, 1898-1953.

Sheboygan Series 16

8 cubic ft. (24 volumes)


ABSTRACT: Bound volumes containing the petition for judicial inquiry; order appointing medical examiners; report of medical examiners; personal and family history; physical and mental examination results; and the adjudication of insanity and order for commitment. The series is arranged in three ways. The first method of arrangement, dating from 1898-1927, is by order of petition. The second method of arrangement, dating from 1932-1953, is by a sequential case file number which began in 1932. The third method of arrangement, dating 1951-1953, is by a case file number which began at the start of each volume. Although the first book (1898-1902) has no volume number and the second book (1902-1906) is volume 5, there does not appear to be any gap in the records. There is no index to the volumes.

ACCESS RESTRICTIONS: The series is currently closed, in accordance with Wisconsin Statute 51.30, because the records are confidential materials.

ACQUISITION: The State Historical Society of Wisconsin acquired the materials from the Sheboygan County Court in May 1991 (accession number C1991/067).
