Mayview State Hospital
iBridgeville, Pa. 15017
VICTOR STANLEY PRICE, #~422 October 13, 1971
EVALUATION FOR GUARDIANSHIP HElmiNG
This patient is a 72-year-old, ivhite, widowed male, admitted as
a Commitment of the \iashington County Court from Memorial Hospital in
MOnongahela on June 15, 1971.
The admission history was that the patient had been living alone
since his wife's death and for the past year had been showing increased
confusion \'lith memory loss to the·-.extent that he had. become out of
contact With reality.
On admission interV-iew, the pa1;.ient related readily' with. an affect
of uncertainty. He was: oriented only .. for person. · He could give his
place of ~esidence and his birthdate but he did not know the current
year and he could not compute his age. He admitted that he had a poor
memory. · His conversation was rambling and he tended to reminisce and
confabulate. His insight was poor and his judgment was defective.
:. The admission physical examination revealed findings compatible
with the patient's age and a generalized arteriosclerosis. His
laboratory findings were normal. His chest x-ray was normal as was his
electrocardiogram. .
On current interview, the patient 1 s confusion is noted to persist.
He is largely out of contact. When asked how old he was, he stated
that· .his age is 38. l-.Jhen asked where he lived, he stated, "Down along
the river with my father and mother~" .
. The appoirltment of a guardian is heartily' recommended 'due to the
fact that. this·man is gross~ confUsed and unable to function in an
unsupervised·environment. He may very easily' become the victim of
designing persons.

Dear Judge Marino:
Victor Stanley Price
Supplementing the previous information concerning the above-named
patient, it is considere~ not in his best interests that he attend a
hearing concerning the appointment of a guardian for him. His mental
condition is such that he would not comprehend the significance of the
proceedings~ The prognosis for ~emission of this c~ndition is extremely
poor in that it is based on the effect of advancing age.

THE COURT: Mr. Yo he,'.' are you ready with your procee ing?
MR. YOHE: If the Court please, we are here this
morning to consider the matter of the estate of V. Stanley Price,
an alleged incompetent. I prepared and filed and had signed the
Order cone erning this hearing and served a copy of the Petition
under Section 301 of tre Incompetents Estates Act upon the heirs,
the children of V. Stanley Price, and also V. Stanley Price himsel
was served at the Mayview State Hospital. I have the signed
receipts evidencing service upon Dorothy Butchko, 15456 Alamed
Street, Oak Forest, Illinois, and Mrs. Mae Welsh of R. D. #2,
Finleyville, who is here in Court. I also have the Affidavit of
Service by;Registered Nurse Rose S. Boyce of Mayview State
Hospital, showing service upon the alleged incompetent.
We also have a copy of the letter that was
sent out to the other two daughters.
THE COURT: Mr. Yohe, the service on the various heir
is in conformity with the statutory requirements. We note that in
the Affidavit of RoseS. Boyce, the Registered Nurse v;,rho served
the alleged incompetent, V. Stanley Price, it states that it was . ' .,
served upon him by personally handing to him a true and correct
copy of the petition. It says nothing about the Citation.
MR. YOHE: Well, the Citation was delivered to Mr. Lee, ·
who delivered it to the hospital.

these papers 'vith Mrs. Boyce for her to serve personally upon the

Mrs. Boyce, the Registered Nurse, if she, in fact, did serve a
copy of the Citation upon the alleged incompetent, because it is
required that the copy of the Citation be served. Otherwise, we dof1't
have jurisdiction.
YOHE: Right. Well, I included in my instructions
to Mr. Lee a copy of the Petition along 'Nith the Citation. There is
no doubt in my mind that they should both go.
~THE COURT: I feeUha:t that was probably done. Will you

MR. YOHE: Mr. Evans can testify to that.
THE COURT: Mr. Tempest, did you wish to inquire of
this ,,,,~dthz s s what capacity ·she has for acting as guardian
and what she would intend to do if she is·appointed?
MR. TEMPEST: Well, if the Court please, I was going to
move that she not be appointed and that a banking instituti on
be appointed to be the. gu~rdian of this estate.
THE COURT: Well, all right •.
MR. TEMPEST: On the basis of the knowledge she has of
the estate.

HAROLD R. EVANS IS CALLED AND DULY SWORN.
DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. YOHE:
Q What is your full name?
A Harold R. Evans.
Q Where do you live?
A 457 Liberty Avenue, 'Monongahela.
Q What is your relation to the petitioner, Mrs. Elizabeth
Evans who just testified?
A Husband.
Q Did you know about Stanley Price in his lifetime, who would
be your father-in-law, is that correct?
A · Yes.
Q Wereyou in a position to observe his mental arid physical
condition at the time of his commitment to Mayview and the
year preceding?
A I was.
Q How would you descri~e it to the Court?
A Very poor.
17
Q Well, can you amplify that a little? I
A He was confused; he was run down in health. As my wife
stated, he was running away all the time~ very poor memory,
d·idn·'t remember; didn't know where he was part of the time.
Q In your opinion, considering what assets he had, what money
he did have, could he have been a victim of designing perso~s
if he happened to run into ore?
l()
A Well, he, at one time, I would say yes. At one time he bro~ght
a fellow up there from Clairton. He didn't even know him.
He was in his car and didn't even know him, didn't even
know where the man picked him up at or anything. They had
been out drinking. He's not usually a drinking man. They ha~
I
been out drinking.
Q When did this occur?
A I'd say about two months before we put him in the hospital.
Q Now I'm going to ask yow, to the best of your knowledge---
I apologize to the Court if we don't have the bank statemen~s,
it may be a failure of communication, I thought I told him
to bring them---but to the best of your recollection, about
the real estate, you heard your wife testify as to the
location and the condition of the real estate. Do you have
any opinion as to its market value?
A Well, I'd say about $7500, $~000.
Q Now that's the only real estate that he has, the property
situate on Lawton Street in Monongahela?
A As far as I know.
Q Now the savings accounts, he has a savings account with Whe~ling
Pittsburgh Credit Union.
A Yes.
Q Do you know the approximate amount of that?
A Jt's fourteen thousand some odd dollars.

I'm pretty sure I signed it. I'm not positive.

Yes.

A It was the last of June or July, or the first part of July,

No.

$4~0.00 a month.
How is that being paid?
It isn't yet. I'm waiting for this to be settled. They

called my wife and she told them to send us a bill, it woul~
be paid, which I would pay it out of the checking account.
But they never sent a bill to us.
Do you know whether or not your father-in-law has any other

No, he doesn't have any insurance. That's what they told us

that's what they say. We waited for a bill. we never went
down on a weekday. I work. And we never .did get .a statemen
