POOR HOUSE.
The act of assembly for the erection of the "house for the en- ployment and support of the poor" of our county was approved by the Governor, March 11th, 1807. The second section of the act pro . vided that at the election to be held in October, 1807, five persons should be elected "to determine upon and fix the place on which the buildings should be erected," and also that there should be elected "three persons to be Directors of the Poor," one to serve for one year, one for two years, and one for three years, their terms to be determined by lot.
William Allison, David Fullerton, John Colhoun, Colonel Joseph Culbertson and John Maclay, were elected the Commissioners to fix the site for the Poor House; and Robert Liggett, Jamies Robinson and Ludwig Heck were elected Directors of the Poor.

site of the present Poor House) as the place where the Poor House should be placed ; and in the year 1808 the directors purchased it for the sum of eight thousand two hundred dollars. The farm then contained one hundred and sixty-five acres, and had a stone farm house, barn, &c., upon it. This house was somewhat enlarged, and used until the year 1811, when the large stone building now standing was put up.
In the years 1853-'54, the large brick house was erected at a cost of about twelve thousand dollars. The farm now contains about two hundred and ten acres.
The following lists contain the names of the Directors of the Poor, their stewards, treasurers, attorneys, clerks and physicians, from the year 1807 to the present time, so far as they could be ascer- tained:
