PERSONAL
NOTES FROM READERS:
"I remember the Wise County poor farm
from my childhood. I had a cousin who, with her husband, worked there and took
care of the people. They lived at the poor farm and, I suppose, were the
supervisors. I remember that when we visited them there were only about 3
people that they were caring for and they (the people) were elderly. One of the
ladies was about my fathers age, maybe a little older, and he knew her from
years back. The Wise County reunion (I think) is now held at the place where the
Poor Farm used to be."
