Definitely a "bookmarkit-come-back-to-later" candidate! Though it's a little shy of info right now, that will change as more people find it and more info is available. Anyone have any info about the Morris County Welfare House on Hanover Avenue in MorrisPlains/Morristownship to add to this? It is now the Morris View Nursing Home. How about the one in Boonton - or was that an orphange? May I suggest that info on orphanges, "Old (Folks, Soldiers, Fireman) Homes", or similar homes that don't QUITE fall into the "Poorhouse" category but are "kinda sorta the same thing in a way but not quite" be LINKED off this site? If you have an ancestor who "disappears" -- he/she MIGHT have ended up in a poorhouse. It happened more often than we like to think. It's one of those "But for the Grace of God, go I" situations.
