I know the poor farm was located in Madison Twp, south of Ireland, and built
about 1880-1882. Was there a poor farm before and where was it? While
at the library I think I read a census in 1870 of a person living at the
poor farm. So there must have been a place for these homeless folks
before the Madison Twp. poor farm. Thanks for any info. Helen Zuber
