The Marion County, Kansas Poor Asylum, also called the Poor Farm opened its doors in the Spring of 1890.  It sat on 160 acres.  One of the first Superintendents was "William K. Palmer", 1900.  The farm would close its doors in 1965. The residences of the farm were called Inmates and Pauper among other things. The residences would work the fields to help pay for their upkeep.
