I would like to invite you to explore my new website The POORHOUSE STORY at http://www.poorhousestory.com which is a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American Poorhouses. We have just posted a photograph of the DODGE County Home on the WISCONSIN page. If you go to the homepage (link above) just click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on OTHER STATES and then click on WISCONSIN on the table of states. (If you have been to the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH on your browser to see the new material.) There are other pages which might help you gain more understanding about poorhouses. These are all links on the left side of the homepage and include: the HISTORY page, FEATURED ARTICLES page (which contains links to especially good poorhouse photo stories or newspaper articles, etc.) or the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS. Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to post any information you may have about that or any other poorhouse ... either on the MESSAGE BOARD or by e-mailing me. The only way this site will grow to include more WISCONSIN info is by kind folks tipping me off to it!!! <grin> Please don't respond to me on this list. (I would get FIRED or SUED by my ISP if I maintained subscriptions to all the e-mail lists on which I post announcements!! <grin>) Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
