LAUREN FOREMAN (1909-1979)

This is my great-uncle Lauren Foreman, 1909-1979, shown with bunny. His parents, Robert L. Foreman and Effie Howell Foreman committed him to a private sanitarium, Allen's Invalid Home [for the Insane] in Milledgeville in 1940, and he died there in 1979, outliving his three brothers. He was accused of "molesting a child," gender unknown, by a poor Atlanta family. (The age of consent was 14.)  The situation was touchy because his first cousin Clark Howell, Jr. was publisher and editor of the Atlanta Constitution. The Foreman's paid off the family and sent Lauren to hell.
