Record - Susan
Source: Crawfordsville Review February 15, 1890
The Oldest Pauper, Susan Record, the oldest pauper at the poor farm and an inmate longer, perhaps, of such an institution than any other in the state, died on Monday afternoon. The record of inmates show that she entered the county asylum in the year 1840 at age 60 years of age. This would figure her residence there at 50 years and her age 110 years. This last is not believed to be correct and her age is thought to be about 85 years. Her husband, many years ago, committed suicide on account of some crime charged against him, and her children, some three or four in number, she had not seen for a long time before her death. The cost of board for the old woman was probably $200 per year. This for fifty years would make the sum of $10,000 that Montgomery county has paid for her maintenance.- thanks so very much to Kim H - what they're worried about is the money :(
