Does anyone have any information on the Poor House at Celina ? I have a
picture taken when John T .Pennington and his wife Nancy ran it. The
picture was taken about 1913. My Great Grandfather David Andrew Cherry was
the nephew of John Pennington and he is in the picture before he died Jan.
20, 1914. Would love to get information on the Poor House and the people in
this picture. Eunice
