I host a website called The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We have a page for MISSOURI at http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_missouri.htm There is now on eBay a picture postcard with a photograph of a poorhouse in BETHANY, Mo. I would like to obtain a copy of that photograph and post it on our website. Problem is: There seem to be three (count 'em, 3!) populated places in Missouri named Bethany -- in the following counties: Clay & Dunklin & Harrison. Does anyone know which county this poorhouse was in? (The seller of the postcard does not know.) You can view the item at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=10777 50432+ (Or if that link does not go through, you can search by item # 1077750432 (Please don't flame me; I am not spamming. I have no financial interest in this sale. I would just like to know for the historical record.) Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
