| In Medina
County ... voters in 2002 overwhelmingly
approved $700,000 a year in first-time tax money
to keep open a 60-bed county home. ... 'Each
year more and more of us are closing down,' said
Lynn Remington, administrative assistant in
Medina and a third-generation county home
operator. 'But we're a sort of catch-all in
social services, and I think we're still needed.' |

| 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. |
