I would like to invite you to visit my website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have just posted updated information about the treatment of the poorhouse cemetery in Milwaukee. By following the links, you can read a recent newspaper article, a detailed paper about the poorhouse and its cemetery, see photographs with annotations, and read about an UPCOMING meeting/presentation addressing the issue. The best way to find all the information on this subject is to: Go to the homepage (link above) then click on NEWS ALERTS (linked off the homepage..look to the list of links at the left) and you may want to look at the WISCONSIN state page itself (on the homepage, click POORHOUSES BY STATE) Hope you enjoy the site! And if you feel, as we do, a great concern that the history of our less well-to-do ancestors is shamefully undervalued... perhaps you may want to get involved with this issue in Milwaukee. Sincerely, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

A very interesting site...thank you. laurel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Poor House Lady" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 12:11 PM Subject: POORHOUSE Information (Milwaukee poorhouse cemetery) > I would like to invite you to visit my website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a > clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at > http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have just posted updated information > about the treatment of the poorhouse cemetery in Milwaukee. > > By following the links, you can read a recent newspaper article, a detailed > paper about the poorhouse and its cemetery, see photographs with > annotations, and read about an UPCOMING meeting/presentation addressing the > issue. > > The best way to find all the information on this subject is to: > Go to the homepage (link above) > then click on NEWS ALERTS (linked off the homepage..look to the list of > links at the left) > and you may want to look at the WISCONSIN state page itself (on the > homepage, click POORHOUSES BY STATE) > > Hope you enjoy the site! > > And if you feel, as we do, a great concern that the history of our less > well-to-do ancestors is shamefully undervalued... > perhaps you may want to get involved with this issue in Milwaukee. > > Sincerely, > Linda Crannell > (aka=The Poorhouse Lady) > > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.
