Because both of these men were married with families it seems unlikely they
were living on a poor farm unless they were ill. Marilyn, your previous
notes showed William to be working for a street car company in
Muncie. Maybe city directories prior to 1915 will provide clues.

Hi
Having worked with the Delaware County records for over 4 years at the
Ball State Archives, I have never seen anything about a fire at the
Infirmary. I had a sister to an ancestor that lived there, so I would
have looked at them had there been. I can say that there are several poor
records there and maybe there is something in those. I am not sure who
has them now. Probably the library.
Hope this helps in some way.
