In Response To: Re: WELFARE (Verda)

I am not researching the same surnames as in this thread. But I have run across some information that might be useful with regard to "Old Age Assistance Records".

I recently did some research at the Drake library in Appanoose County and they have a book there entitled: "Old Age Assistance Records". A seasoned Appanoose County researcher told me that the records actually reflect people who had paid taxes in the state of Iowa and were potentially eligible for "Old Age Assistance" if they had need of it. The researcher further explained that the list in the library did not necessarily reflect the names of people who actually received assistance payments. If the researcher was correct, it certainly tells me to apply a different perspective to the information that I gleaned from the book.
