I recently read this article and wondered if anyone knew the exact location of this place? Death of Jesse Wright Morrell A man somewhat noted in his way, recently died in the Alexandria township almshouse. We have no means of knowing his age, but we think he had passed three score years and ten. Born in the township where he died, the son of a crazy woman who wandered through the northern part of the county many years ago, Jesse W. Morrell inherited an active, shattered intellect. In a fit of passion, some thirty years ago, he hit a boy an unlucky blow and killed him.... He died Tuesday, March 15, 1881.
