We would like to invite you to revisit The POORHOUSE STORY website (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have just posted a picture postcard of the Co. Poor Farm in Libertyville, LEWIS County. If you have recently visited our site, you will need to click REFRESH on your browser to see the new material. If you are new to the site, DIRECTIONS: at the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE and then click on ILLINOIS on the table of states.You will find the link to the photo near the middle of the page if you scroll down past the one illustration. There are other pages on PHS which can help you gain a better understanding of poorhouses; they are all linked off the homepage (left side) and include: HISTORY page, LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS, and FEATURED ARTICLES. We also archive our (almost) monthly newsletters which review all new postings since the previous newsletter. (You can find the link to these on the left side of the homepage, as well as a link to subscribe to the newsletter on the lower right side of the homepage.) Our information will only grow through the suggestions and submissions of readers like you! If you wish to e-mail me, please do so off-list (because I cannot maintain subscriptions to all the lists to which we post)... and include in the subject line the name of the state and county with which you are concerned. Hope you enjoy! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
