Subject: [Pafayett-L] More POORHOUSE Information
Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2001 22:36:10 -0600


We would like to invite you to visit (or revisit) The POORHOUSE STORY
website (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American
poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have just posted the
section about the history of the poorhouse from History of Fayette County,
Pennsylvania : with biographical sketches of many of its pioneers and
prominent men / edited by Franklin Ellis.
Imprint: Philadelphia : L.H. Everts & Co., 1882

Note: If you have visited the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH
(or key F5) to see the new material.
If you are new to the site,
DIRECTIONS:
At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on
PENNSYLVANIA on the table of states.
Then scroll down to the section LOCAL NOTES where you will find this entry
marked with a big yellow NEW arrow.

There are other pages linked off the homepage which may help you gain a
better perspective on poorhouses. They include: HISTORY, LETTER TO
GENEALOGISTS, FEATURED ARTICLES, etc.

Hope you enjoy the site!

If you wish to correspond with me, please do so off-list.

Thanks,
Linda Crannell
