I have been watching your postings but perhaps you only reply by E-Mail which perhaps I did not include when I was looking for more information on Mary Orasuk listed in 1955. Please e-mail editho @rogers.com

Since our name is Orasuk, I am wondering if you have any information on Mary Orasuk listed in 1955.

What further information do you want. We are talking about a female, Ruth Nauyaq Carter from Noorvik. Joe Carter, Sr. was her brother. Are there any records to show that she was returned to Alaska. We can ck with API here, if she was returned here, I think they would have sought to inform her family.
Could you provide me a list.
Thank you.

My father in law, Joe Carter, Sr. had a sister, who was mentally deficient. He said that one day someone came and picked her up while they were young kids and she never came back. I asked if there were any permission slips signed, he said no. He was her caretaker, her older sibling. He never received any letter to inform him of her whereabouts. He had heard about Morningside tho. We did request some information through Alaska Legal Services, we got a reply saying that the place had closed and that all records had burnt in a fire. Her name was Ruth Nauyaq Carter from Noorvik, Alaska. If there are any records of her whereabouts or her death, information would be appreciated. Her nieces and nephews are still here but their dad passed on, not too long ago.

Thank you.

During the early 1960′s, many Morningside patients returned to Alaska. The Alaska Psychiatric Institute opened in 1962. It’s difficult to answer your question about where he is buried without a little more information about you grandfather. I’ll email you directly to see if we have anything that will help in your search.

I found my Mom’s father on the list. My Mother received a letter that he died Jan 1971. Where? If all patients were returned to Alaska prior to that date just where did he end up & where is he buried?
