| Transcriber's Notes: Please note these records are over 100
years old were hard to read!! Faded ink, rust stains and poor
handwriting attributed to this difficulty. If there are any mistakes,
please contact us. You help is appreciated. Various missing records date between Nov. 30, 1915 to April 14, 1953. There are two old and very rusty straight pins attached to this page of the document, suggesting at one time there was another page attached with the missing information. There was ca. 1953 a change in the style and information recorded. Records taken from a Ledger entitled “Poor Farm Records” found at the Decatur County Museum and from a list found stapled to the wall in the upstairs of the Museum along with a display of pictures from the County Farm. The pictures and list can be found in a display on the second floor of the museum, near the fire escape. The Ledger can be found in the book case on the first floor of the museum. French Leave - leave of absence without permission or without announcing one's departure.
