This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ray County Almhouse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XNB.2ACI/790 Message Board Post: I have run across the Ray County Almshouse in several of my searches on ancestry.com. Can anyone tell me anything about it? It appears to have been in Richmond, MO (1910 in one of my searches). People were referred to as "inmates". Was this the local "poor house", sanitarian or what? Anyone know where it was or anything else about it?
