"Persons admitted to the home as permanent inmates must be of good character, above sixty years of age, of sound mind, and free from contagious or aggravated, incurable diseases. The management of the home was composed of nine members elected annually from the following counties - Lawrence, Mercer, Butler, Beaver and Venango. Memberships and supplies are solicited from each of these counties, from which also inmates are received into the home." Taken from the History of Lawrence County, 1908 by Aaron L. Hazen
