That should be almShouse.....aka poor house. I do not know where it was in Dauphin but in Schuylkill Co. it was in Schuylkill Haven and the place is now called Rest Haven. In Lehigh Co. it is now called Cedarbrook. And yes sometimes people are buried there. In Schuylkill there is a list of those buried there in one of the Rice and Dellock books. Don't know if one of the Dauphin Co. books has a list of burials for the almShouse. > [Original Message] > From: Joe Buffington <joebuff160@qwest.net> > To: PASCHUYL <PASCHUYL-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 7/5/2007 4:13:53 PM > Subject: [PASCHUYL] Dauphin Co Almahouse (Almshouse ?) > > Just received the death certificate on my grandfather Levi Buffington, he > died at the Almahouse, Sept 24, 1915 and buried Sept 27, 1915.
