1883 Biennial Report Volume 7
Scott- The county almshouse is in fair condition with clean rooms, beds and bedding; and the inmates are apparently well cared for, except that an insane pauper is chained in a room in the basement. This room has a brick floor. The average of inmates is ten. The number when visited was nine. of whom one was a child, one insane, three idiotic, and two crippled.
