DATABASE IN
PROGRESS |
There is a
work in progress by a Lorain County genealogist,
Nancy Applebee Meyers. She is compiling a database of
those who were admitted, born and died at the Lorain
County Infirmary from 1868-1956; also those who are
buried at the Lorain County Infirmary Cemetery.
You may contribute to
this database, by sending information to nmeyers34@yahoo.com

Note: For every county in Ohio it would be a good idea to check
the statewide resources listed below. PHL
| We have found so many infirmary/poorhouse records for Ohio that
we have created a special page for the references -- which will be found in a table
alphabetized by county. |

(WPA) INVENTORIES OF THE COUNTY ARCHIVES OF OHIO
--
EXCERPTS RELATED TO POORHOUSE (INFIRMARY) HOLDINGS
During the 1930's and 1940's
the Work Projects Administration (WPA) began the process of inventorying
County Archives of Ohio. Those which inventoried infirmary records
have been transcribed and links are here posted on a table. |

See Note above under RECORDS regarding
the database under construction.
|
|
| We are hoping to build this
base of information about the poorhouse in LORAIN county
through the helpful participation of readers. All are requested
to submit items of interest by sending e-mail
to The Poorhouse Lady. |
