In 1871 the need of a new building for the poor upon the county farm donated by James Dunlap in about 1810 gained official action, and the county commissioners established a brickyard on the farm, which turned out the material to be used in the erection of the buildings. Work was commenced in earnest, in 1872, and in November, 1873, the new quarters were occupied by the county's wards, the institution then taking the name of "Ross County Infirmary and Children's Home." The buildings are elaborate and expensive, covering fully an acre of land. The infirmary, proper, is a three-story brick structure, conveniently arranged for heating and lighting, with the least possible danger of fire. Water is also supplied and fire protection afforded by private waterworks on the premises. An insane ward is also provided for the care of patients designated as "harmless and incurable." The children's department is under control of matrons endowed with the requisite qualifications to properly rear and train the unfortunates left to their charge. A school is sustained in the institution. The farm has been enlarged to three hundred and sixty-one acres, and produces surplus products not consumed in the institution, to the value of about two thousand dollars, annually. The average cost of maintenance for the last twenty years, including outside relief, has been about twenty-three thousand dollars, annually. The infirmary directors have supreme control, and employ, subordinate to their directions, a superintendent and chief matron, who attend to the details of the institution. Paupers who are able to work are employed on the farm, or in caring for stock and "choring" on the premises. Good wholesome and substantial food is provided in abundance, as is also comfortable and seasonable clothing. Volunteer ministers from the various churches in the city, or elsewhere, supply the spiritual needs of the inmates, in a chapel, or room set apart for religious services. At present there are one hundred and twelve inmates, of whom twenty-eight are children.
