Surnames: Bare, Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/538.1 Message Board Post: I am also interested in knowing whether any old records of "inmates" of the Huntington Township infirmary are open & available. According to census records, a Sam Bare and Sarah (Miller) Bare were there from at least 1880, until 1885 for Sam when he died at about age 60, and until at least 1900 for Sarah, who died at age 90 in 1910 before the 1910 census was done. If these are the people I think they are, how did they end up on a "pauper's list" with at least one of Sam's brothers living so close by on a Polk Twp farm?
