At a special term of the county com- missioners' court, held Oct. 13, 1845, the purchase of a tract of land for a poor farm was consummated. This farm, which comprised some 166 acres of land, was purchased for $900, of Samuel R. Perry, and was situated northeast of Jerseyville. On it was a house already built, and in December of the same year, the commissioners having established it as a poorhouse, it was at once odenee for that purpose. This was used for many years.
HISTORY OF JERSEY COUNTY.
103
In 1864, the building being too small for the purpose intended, and in a dilapidated condition, it was determined to build a new almshouse. For that purpose a new farm was purchased, the old one proving ineligible. This latter is on section 16, English township. On it the present handsome and substantial brick edifice was erected, in 1865. It is
two stories in height, the main building occupying 30x60 feet of ground area, with an L 20x40 feet in size. Close by is a smaller building, used for the sick, which is 20x30 feet in size. A fine barn is also on the premises. The farm, which is an excellent one, and the house, is under the superintendency of Castleton Lynch.
CHAPTER VII.
POLITICAL.
How much better can the political history of a county be given, than by grouping together, in one comprehensive chapter, the vote of each succeeding year? What long dissertation upon the causes that lead to this or that issuc, equal the plain facts, deduced from the mathematics of the ballots on the occa- sion? It has been the endeavor to give the official vote of every year, but in some cases, some parts are wanting, but a diligent research among the records and papers, both of the county offices and the office of the secretary of state, at Springfield, fails to produce anything more. The following is the
