Madness Monday is a daily blogging prompt used by many genealogy bloggers to help them post content on their sites. To participate in Madness Monday we simply create a post with the main focus being an ancestor who either suffered some form of mental illness or an ancestor who might be hard to locate and drives you mad.
Preacher Billy Reese married Mary Jane Freeman and they had a son named Elisha Reese. Elisha Reese was the brother of my direct ancestor, Green Hill Reese. Alice V. Reese was Elisha's daughter and would have been Green Hill Reese's niece.
Elisha Reese (DOB: 3/8/1834 in Buncombe County, NC; DOD: 2/18/1891 in Madison County, NC) married Margaret Serena Chambers (DOB: Abt 1842 in NC; DOD: 1889 in Madison County, NC) and they had a daughter named Alice V. Reese.
Alice was born 1/30/1867 in Madison County, NC. She married Alfred Burton Anders (DOB: 9/14/1864 in Madison County, NC; DOD: 9/15/1954 in Buncombe County, NC) about 1885 in Madison County, NC.
They had 7 children:
Jeter S. Anders
Jettie Mae Anders
Lottie Lazalee Anders
Carie Lattimer Anders
Max Abram Anders
Valeria Flora Anders
Irene Virginia Anders

You will notice that their eldest son, Jeter, is not listed in the following 1910 census. It's possible he died. Could this have affected his mother? She was admitted to Broughton State Hospital in 1907.
