What Was Found in Adams County’s Infirmary Well?

“The Adams County Defender says: ‘They cleaned out their well at the Infirmary the other day, and among other things, took therefrom 55 tin cups, 5 half-gallon tins, 3 wash basins, 20 pair of shoes, 2 old hats, 2 steamers, 2 joints stove pipe, 2 milk strainers, and many other things too tedious to mention. It is sixty-five feet deep.'”1
