I would like to invite you to visit my new website called The POORHOUSE STORY (which is a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just added some poorhouse information from your own Graham County Historical Society (including a photograph of the old poor farm building). It always makes us really happy to find others with an interest in poorhouse history. And we appreciate their giving us permission to copy the photo and link to their site so you can see what they have been doing. For those who have not visited The POORHOUSE STORY before, DIRECTIONS: once you are at the homepage, click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on OTHER STATES, then click on KANSAS when you get to the table of states. You may also enjoy some other links off the homepage; these might include HISTORY (of the poorhouse system) and LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS We depend largely upon the submissions and tips of readers to help us increase the amount of information on this website. Let's see the information for KANSAS and your county increase soon! Hope you enjoy the site! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
