Hello List, I am trying too find info on an asylum in Franklin County. I have been told of a Poor house but have not been able too find any info on it. Was the Poor house and the Asylum one and the same? Or were they together at one time and divided into separate homes? A friend of mine has a vague memory of having too visit such a place Poor House / Asylum. This is what he remembers, seeing a woman behind bars, at this time we are assuming that the woman was his mother, this is just an assumption. My friend was born in 1910, he does not remember how old he was but I am assuming that he was between 5 and 10. He was placed in an Orphanage when he was 3. I have not been able too find anything in the Census, I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction? Or maybe do a lookup too see if indeed an Asylum Poor House did exist in Franklin County? Thank you in advance for your help. Stacy
