    1. More POORHOUSE Information
    2. Poor House Lady
    3. We would like to invite you to revisit The POORHOUSE STORY website (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have recently posted more information about the SENECA County Infirmary (poorhouse). Stephen J. Hartzell has kindly scanned and shared a picture of that poorhouse. If you have recently visited the site, you will need to click REFRESH on your browser to see the new material. If you are new to the site, DIRECTIONS: at the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE and then click on OHIO on the table of states and then click on GEAUGA on the table of counties. (If you have visited the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH to see the new material.) There are other pages on PHS which can help you gain a better understanding of poorhouses; they are all linked off the homepage (left side) and include: HISTORY page, LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS, and FEATURED ARTICLES. Our information will only grow through the suggestions and submissions of readers like you! If you wish to e-mail me, please do so off-list (because I cannot maintain subscriptions to all the lists to which we post)... and include in the subject line the name of the state and county with which you are concerned. Hope you enjoy! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
