Some content may contain outdated and offensive terminology. See: New York State Archives Statement on Language in Descriptive Resources

Overview of the Records

Arrangement

Chronological.

Scope and Content Note

This series consists of approximately 490 weekly census reports of veterans of the United States armed forces who were patients at Utica State Hospital. Each weekly report form consists of a single, two-part, printed sheet. Table "A" shows categories for general, tuberculosis, and neuro-psych patients. In these reports, all patients are listed as neuro-psych. Statistics are given for number of patients remaining at end of previous week; admitted during the week reported; discharged during the week; died during the week; and remaining at the end of the week.

Table "B" provides space for name of beneficiary (patient); claim number; home address; rank and organization; diagnosis; date of admission; date of discharge or death; and reason for discharge. These are carbon copies of the original forms which were apparently prepared for and submitted to the United States Veterans' Bureau for purposes of establishing benefit eligibility for hospitalized veterans.
