Within this page
of facts and numbers are tales of men, women and children who lived in
Hocking County.
When their lives turned towards
misfortune and poverty, they found themselves with nowhere
else to go but the Hocking County Poorhouse. The poor,
aged, and mentally ill, immigrants
and transients, all
committed because they had no means of support. The Hocking County Poorhouse
was home to the people society wished to forget. But
behind each name is a story. If you have history
or
genealogy for any of the residents of the Hocking County Poorhouse, please
consider sharing
it with others. I would be proud to
post your contribution on this website.
