I have an article on it that I could find with the name, location and when it operated. If you're interested for more data, let me know. We did have a Poor Farm/House in Walworth county with an insane asylum in a separate building. It was located in Section 4 of the Town of Geneva. Walworth County started purchasing land and building a place for their poor, paupers and insane in 1852-3. The first buildings were wood and burned, and were replaced by brick buildings. I also have some data on those with a few pictures of some of the inmates and buildings. You mention the Ives name in your listing. Which Ives? I have some data on the Ives family in Walworth county plus a couple of Ives are buried just a few blocks from where I live, and a few in the next town from me.
