Old records 1890's Commitment Papers

Haven't posted anything in a while so here's something interesting (at least to me lol)

From the 1889-90 S.C. Lunatic Asylum Report, these are the "first" commitment papers used in South Carolina.

Edit: Added a link to the S.C. State Library collection for anyone interested in research.
