We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a
clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at
http://www.poorhousestory.com

We just posted a picture postcard image of the Poor Farm in Freeport in
STEPHENSON County. If anyone has further information about that poorhouse,
we would really like to hear from you!

DIRECTIONS:

At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on ILLINOIS
on the table of states, and finally on STEPHENSON on the table of counties.
If you have been to the website recently you may have to click REFRESH or
RELOAD on the browser to see the new information.

There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting
perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the
HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES.
There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the
RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly
newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage).

The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of
generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list
because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages
on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.)

We hope you enjoy the site!

Thanks,
Linda Crannell
