The Knox County USGenWeb site has just added the complete 8-page description of the Almshouse from the 1878 History of Knox County. It provides a really interesting view of pauper life and the public commitment to help the less fortunate in Knox County during the years 1856-1878. The description can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilknox/postcards/public_buildings.htm#almshouse (this URL may word wrap to the next line when it displays on your screen, so be sure to get all of it).
