Built on the shore of the Bodensee, in a Monastery dating back to the year 986, Anna was housed in this hospital by the name of Psychiatrische Klink Müsterlingen, which translated means Thurgau’s Mad or Mental Hospital. While Anna was there it was directed by Dr. Ludwig Franc who’s studies with the patients contributed greatly to the first addition of the Interpretations of Dreams by Sigmund Freud in the early 1900's. Today the hospital is known as the Psychiatrische Dienste Thurgau. Anna lived here for 1½ years before she died. In Münsterlingen, Thurgau there was a hospital set up for the insane called the Psychiatrische Klinik Münsterlingen. This psychiatric hospital had been established back in 1838. They were in the process of expanding and adding four new pavilions and a new mansion. Anna was admitted and lived in the hospital in the middle of the year 1900.

We do not know what kind of care she received here, but in those days the patients in an insane asylum had a rough life. One patient that lived in this hospital a few years after Anna was eventually released and moved back to live with her family. She was not able to deal with the death of her husband, and had to spend a short time institutionalized. When she was allowed to return to her family she would never again step foot in a buggy or car because she was overcome with fear that they might take her back to the hospital in Münsterlingen. She would rather walk the two miles to the family farm where she helped, and then she also returned on foot. The memories of being institutionalized struck such fear in her heart she would not take any chance of going back.

Anna lived in the hospital for over a year and a half, and then passed from this life on December 26, 1902 in Münsterlingen, Thurgau.

How grateful we are for the atoning sacrifice of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and the knowledge that all things will be made right in the next life.

Anna’s life was filled with challenges - some we can not even comprehend. She appears to have faced her trials in life with a brave face and did the best she could do in every situation. She loved her children and did all she could to help make their life better and easier. She died having faith in her Savior and trusted in His goodness. He was her strength in this life, and she looked forward to meeting him in the next.
