This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bowman, Foley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Yg.2ADE/896 Message Board Post: I am looking for info on these three "residents" of the Almshouse of Carroll Co., IL. Syrus Bowman entered Sep 22, 1914 w/his son Andrew (Andy). Syrus's (Cyrus)wife Mary Bowman entered July 18, 1914. Cyrus was homeless, Andy was epileptic and Mary was "demented". She was sent to Watertown, IL Oct 19, 1916. I know that Andy was still there in 1920. Cyrus died Jan 18, 1932 and is buried there. Mary may have died before 1920 because Cyrus was listed as a widower.
