Sorry for the delay, but your request did not go unnoticed. Several Years ago, Heritage Quest Research Library attempted to acquire the Sumner Poor Farm as a permanent home for the library's collection. Since so much research was done at that time, I contacted the previous director to answer Dick's question. Wish I had better news. >From Ginger: "He's not going to like the answer! I couldn't find any at the state, county or Sumner level! Everyone told me to contact someone else...that they didn't have the records, if there were any. I talked to a lady (since passed away) that was a supervisor when it was a nursing home and she didn't know about any records from before. I couldn't even find enough records of proof to help get it put on the historic registers. Sorry!" Ginger Very Sad, it's a neat old building. Carolyn Director Heritage Quest Research Library
