I would like to invite you to visit my website, The POORHOUSE STORY (which
is a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)
at
http://www.poorhousestory.com
We just added a postcard photograph of the Adams County Poorhouse. That
joins some other local notes about that poorhouse and a link to a rather
extensive story about the cemetery there. You may recall that we have
previously linked to an Indiana poorhouse project on a wonderful site by a
Junior High School class! Well ... there's some other stuff ...
... BUT <grin> we sure would like to receive more information about INDIANA
poorhouses! Your comments and submissions would be very welcome.
If you have visited the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH on your
browser to see the new material.
If you are new to the site,
DIRECTIONS:
Once you are at the homepage (link above), click on POORHOUSES BY STATE,
then click on OTHER STATES, and finally on INDIANA on the table of states.
We hope you will browse the rest of the site. There are things you might
find interesting which link off the homepage. Those include the HISTORY Page
and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS, etc.
Hope you enjoy the site!
