Can't remember who asked, but here finally is the beginning of a response from the "powers that be" about what the heck the Los Angeles County Farm was. Seems my little note stirred up some research --- as and if more info comes in I'll post it. Subject: Fw: Fw: Fw: Los Angeles County Farm Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 08:18:18 -0800 I will send you information as soon as I get it -- see note below.

Please see original note at bottom: I received e-mail from person who says it was on death certificate from 1929 and she wants to know what it means. If you respond directly to her, would you cc me as I would like to know as well. Thanks. (Do you know of any historical material that has been written about these types of things; I would like to assemble as much as I can for the Public Affairs Office library.) > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Pamela Everett > To: Judy Hammond > Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 12:00 PM > Subject: Re: Fw: Los Angeles County Farm > > > Yes, the County Farm was where Rancho now is.
