PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA POOR FARM


For several years prior to 1895, taxes had been levied in Platte County to purchase and establish a poor farm. By the beginning of 1895 about $8,000 had been set aside for that purpose and the board of supervisors announced that enough money had been raised to buy such a farm. However, there were many who did not favor the purchase. Finally, at its November 6, 1898 meeting, the board voted to buy 240 acres located five miles north of Columbus for $7,500 from Orson D. Butler and Margaret L. Butler. Platte County operated its poor farm for more than 50 years. Because of the limited capacity of the dormitory-residence, no more than nine men were at the farm at any given time. Boredom and isolation were factors that prompted most to leave as soon as they could arrange living elsewhere. The farm itself produced crops just like any other in the area.

I have tried to retain the original spelling of names (which may not have been correct) when transcribing the records. Please keep that in mind when searching these records. Also, please note that you will need to scroll to the right to read the entire entry on each person.
