NOTES:
"The community voted against
establishing the institution in 1865, but the measure passed a
year later. Built in 1868, the infirmary
was built on a farm that had been owned by John S. Corine."

| 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. |
