Subject: [TXCASS-L] CASS County Poorhouse Information
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 19:15:52 -0500

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 have just published a newly designed page for TEXAS Poorhouse History.
We have added specific county pages for those counties which have
substantial poorhouse information. CASS County is featured!

DIRECTIONS:

At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on TEXAS on
the table of states, and finally on CASS County 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 (which explains why you might
climb over your own "brick walls" at the poorhouse. There are great tips for
researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you
might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newsletter (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
