Sunbury had one - I think - out in the area on 147 south that they call poor house hill - I think Shamokin had one - out in the area where Mountain view Manor (the county nursing home) now stands - on the road to Trevorton. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kitty Messineo" <kittymessineo@comcast.net> To: <PANORTHU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 7:10 AM Subject: [PANORTHU-L] Poor House > Hi, > > Has anyone ever seen anything relating to a "poor house" either in > Shamokin, PA or one of the surrounding areas in Notrhumberland County? > > Thanks, > > Kitty >

There was also one in the Paxinos area which is in Shamokin Township. It was just down the road from where I lived. I was just little about 6 or 8 years old when it burnt down so I doubt there are any records that survived.
