My Great grandfather at the age of 99 years, was put in the Clearfield County home in 1929. He was there only for a few weeks when he died. I was told that he had broken his leg and no one could take care of him. I have to wonder if perhaps it was a broken hip instead of a broken leg that he suffered with. One of my mothers sisters told me that at that time they had a little black bottle that they used on the people that went there, and that her grandfather was one of them. When I asked what the black bottle was, she told me that it was poison. She said that if the person was hard to take care of or had no money, they gave them poison. Please don't shoot the messenger. I am just repeating what I was told. I have no way of proving or disapproving what my Aunt said. Leah
