Patient number 822 (death number/burial marker?)
in the Peoria State Hospital death records found at Ancestry.
Roy C. Aiton, age 27, inmate (patient), born Minnesota, died Mar. 16, 1910 (mistake, should be 1911) buried Mar. 18, 1911. #822. Died of Tuberculosis of the lungs, buried at the Asylum. Doctor: Kraffs
In 1908, when his younger brother Floyd Aiton died, it was noted that Roy C. Aiton was living in Kansas City, Missouri.
Roy C. Aiton was born in Minnesota, his father a successful builder of large brick buildings in west central Minnesota, in Alexandria, Glenwood and other towns.
Roy lived in Glenwood, Minnesota as a baby, and in Alexandria, Minnesota in his school age years. About 1900/1902, when the father got sick and died, the mother took the children to California and bought a fruit farm there, near where her parents lived. Roy worked as a cigar maker in Oakland, California. But then the mother died in 1904, and the boys scattered.
Several members of Roy's family seems to have died from Tuberculosis within a few years of each other.
Father Charles E. Aiton in 1902
Mother Isabel/Isabelle Louise Aiton in 1904,
brother Archie at age 20 in 1906,
brother Floyd at age 20 of suicide, but having had bad pneumonia, in 1908.
One sister survived, Lorna Aiton, and maybe his brother James Aiton. (I have yet to find him after a 1908 mention of him as living in Emporia, Virginia.)
