THIS POST WILL REVEAL A FEW THINGS THAT MOST JENNINGS CO., IN, READERS HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK !!! WERE MY KINFOLKS POOR??
The very first time I heard about the "Poor Farm" was when the Jennings County Fair was moved from the North Vernon City Park to its current location on what some folks called the "Poor Farm."
Accidental discoveries are often the best kind. While researching an article, I stumbled across the following URL:
http://www.ingenweb.org/injennings/pages/library/poorfarm.html
Now the part I think will have you returning to this site again, and again.
The concluding portion of this URL has the 1880 Census with names of many of the ancestors of many readers of this Blog.
The occupations are really something! Political Correctness had not been invented then.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT HIS URL. IT WILL AMAZE THEM AND YOU !
