Mississippi Asylum Cemetery Records

The Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum opened in Jackson on January 8, 1855 at what is now the campus of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The asylum was renamed the Mississippi State Insane Hospital in 1900 and remained there until the present Mississippi State Hospital was opened in Whitfield on March 4, 1935.

MDAH volunteer Nan Harvey researched and transcribed information from Mississippi death certificates to compile a database of approximately 4,380 Insane Hospital patients that died between November 1912 and March 9, 1935 and were buried on the Hospital grounds.

Note: Due to handwriting, spelling variations, and legibility issues, accuracy of the transcribed information cannot be guaranteed.
