Seventh Biennial Report of the
Board of State Commissioners of
Public Charities of the
State of Illinois
Presented to the Governor, November 1882


         
         [p. 248]
         
         GREENE. - There is nothing new to report respecting the
       Greene county farm. As before reported, we found the premises
       in good repair and condition, the rooms tidy, the beds and
       bedding clean and good, and the inmates well cared for. There
       were thirty-three paupers present, of whom six were children,
       seven insane, six idiots, one a deaf-mute, two blind, two
       sick, two bedridden, and two cripples. The number admitted
       in 1881 was twenty-seven, the number discharged twenty-six,
       and there were four deaths. The insane are quiet and require
       no special care. The amount of outdoor relief in this county
       is small; it does not much exceed one thousand dollars, while
       the cost of the poorhouse is nearly three thousand dollars.
