She was the daughter of General John J. Hardin, who fell at the battle of Buena Vista, Mexico, in 1847. She was one of the three founders of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, and a fine marble tablet on the building which stands here, has been erected to her memory by the local chapter. 11 Turning south, at this corner on Main Street, one is following the old road which led in pioneer days to Vandalia, the State capitol, and to St. Louis. A mile south of the square is ...located the Jack- sonville State Hospital for the Insane. In 1846 Dorothea Dix the noted philanthropist, visited Jacksonville to assist in establishing a hospital for the insane. The result of her earnest and spirited efforts was the creation of the present hospital by the Illinois Legislature of 1847. It lies in a beautiful 160 acre tract of land, and the numerous buildings house patients and attend- ants to the number of almost 3, 500. Of less historic interest, but of great value as a city's play ground is beautiful Nichols Park which lies about a mile southeast of the State Hospital.
