Mattie was admitted to the asylum several years before her death. Her brother, James Vernon, also died here, in 1917 after an 8 month stay. He was diagnosed with dementia praecox (schizophrenia).
There are other Mattie/Martha Helms in the record but their dates are considerably off and her brother's being here makes it more likely the identification given above is correct.
