A reader named Kathy Campbell recently wrote me: ---------------------- I got interested in reading about the Poorhouses in Warren and Essex Counties after reading an article in the December 2000 issue of Adirondack Life magazine called, "Hard Times Come Again No More." It mentions several of the poorhouses in and around Warren and Essex County. There are pictures of ones in ESSEX County, WARREN County, and FRANKLIN County in the article. Thanks. kathy -------------------------- I have not gotten ahold of the magazine yet (I live in Texas.)...but I have subscribed. And I went to their website and found a portion of the article on-line at http://www.adirondacklife.com/editorial/nov3.htm Please go look! There is a great anecdote about a colorful "local character" (complete with old photo of him in his old Arirondack woodsman dress) who sadly wound up in the Warren County Poorhouse. I hope to get permission to put that article on The POORHOUSE STORY website at http://www.poorhousestory.com Thanks to Kathy for telling me about the article. And I hope others will do as she did and let me know about interesting poorhouse finds! Happy New Year! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
