Melvina Drollinger in the 1910 United States Federal Census Name: Melvina Drollinger [Melenia Drollinger] Age in 1910: 56 Birth Year: abt 1854 [abt 1858] Birthplace: Pennsylvania Home in 1910: Osawatomie Ward 1, Miami, Kansas Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Patient Marital Status: Single Native Tongue: English Able to Read: Yes Able to Write: Yes I suspect Melvina is not the child of Jacob Drollinger as how she got from Philadelphia to Kansas is not explained. I think she is not a Drollinger by birth but a female that married a Drollinger and ended up in a state hospital. Gordon L. Drollinger 15 June 2018 I called Osawatomie State Hospital 29 June 2018, 1 913 755-7000, I was transferred to another lady who referred me to Angela at Kansas Dept of Aging and Health services, 1 785 296-6154. How ever there was no answer there and the voice message said not to leave a voice mail message but call 1 785 806-7482 which did not answer, I declined to leave a voice mail message after no answer.
