Does anyone know where the records to the old Elk County Home may have been placed? I have a gr gr grandfather, John Engert, who by his wifes will, was stated to be in the Elk County home as a "lunatic" were kept?? I just curious to the seriousness of that. Her will mentioned him (alive) as of 1907. I believe he died 1917. She died 1911. Would be neat to find records of his stay and perhaps the nature of his illness. Perhaps was our now-days alzheimers, or seizures. Thanks! Ginny Download NeoPlanet at http://www.neoplanet.com

I was told at one time that the old Elk County Home records were located at the courthouse. But everyone at the courthouse disavows any knowledge of them being there. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ginnyeakin@csonline.net> To: <PAELK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 8:19 PM Subject: Elk County Home > Does anyone know where the records to the old Elk County Home may have been placed?
