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 are pleased to let you know that we have just posted a photograph of the MONROE County Poorhouse on the Wisconsin page at http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_wisconsin.htm It is an incredibly moving photo which evokes a lot of emotion. 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)
