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

         WARREN. - Of the thirty inmates of the Warren county
       almshouse, ten were found, when visited, to be insane,
       four idiotic, two blind, one sick, one a cripple, and
       one a child. The house is very much overcrowded. The
       same room is used both as a kitchen and a dining room.
       The rooms for the insane are small and badly ventilated;
       but the premises are as neat as they can be made, and
       the grounds surrounding the buildings are ornamented
       with flowers and shrubbery and present a very tasty
       and attractive appearance. The county will possibly
       erect, before long, a suitable house for the use of
       its poor.
