We would like to invite you to visit (or re-visit)our website called The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com Linda Kmiecik shared information about the LIVINGSTON MANOR nursing home which was formerly the County Farm or Poor Farm. We would like to learn whether this still operates ... and, most important, whether the old records which were accessable there in the early 1980s have been kept there or moved someplace else (i.e. County Historian?). Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. If you have never visited the site, DIRECTIONS: at the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on OTHER STATES, then on ILLINOIS on the table of states. If you scroll to just below the photographs of various Illinois county poorhouses, you will find the link to Linda's notes. We hope you enjoy the site! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
