PERSONAL NOTES FROM READERS:  "When I was a little girl there was a poorhouse in Alexander Co., IL located just north of Cairo, IL. It had two large white buildings on several acres of land. I remember my parents speaking of people who lived there. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks."       Lois Farris  stonebridge95@prodigy.net
