We would like to invite you to revisit The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com We have just published some memories of the MARION County poorhouse from a 94 year old(?) [We don't think so!]man who shared them with us recently. It delights us to be able to share such things with you. Hopefully, we will be able to bring you more information from John Simpson soon. DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on TENNESSEE. You will see his comments near the top of the page marked with a big yellow NEW arrow. Note: If you have visited the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH (or key F5) to see the new material. Hope you enjoy! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
