Gutten Tag Rose! The Poor House was just up the street on Tibbs, on the
West side, by 21st St. They had a cemetery on the property and I can't
remember what happened to it.. Or if the library has readings. There is a
Charles Mueller From Marion County died Sep. 22, 1910 at the Central State
Hospital cemetery and in the Mt. Jackson cemetery on Tibbs are 5 Muellers,
Adolph, Clement [who was moved to Crown Hill] George, Gladys and possibly a
infant. What is your grandfather's name? If you find him you might find
his brother Lorenz.
Speaking about poorhouses, we visited some orphanages in Darmstadt area and
most of the children in them were left because the parents were too poor to
raise them. It was so sad.
Germany is beautiful, and from anywhere, you can make weekend trips to other
countries. When I was there, a Deutsch Mark equaled 25 cents, one quarter.
What is a Mark now? I here everyone is using Euro's...Bob

Hi Terre and Bob,
I am living in Germany, maybe not so far from Tieringen, if your Tieringen
is in the county of Balingen (next to Ratshausen and Schoemberg).
A brother of my grandfather - Lorenz Mueller, has died july 2, 1912 at the
age of 61 years in the Marion County Poor House in Wayne Township, Indy and
was
buried the next day. I do not know where. Is the Marion County Poor House
in
Tibbs Av the same as Central State Hospital for the insane? Maybe he was
depressive? he had lived there for abt 12 years (death certificate). A
younger
brother of him was found dead in the Canal and the family never knew if it
was
an accident, a suicide or a murder.
Sincerely
Rose
