The Cayuga County chapter
Charity in New York State in 1906: Cayuga
County.
We are in the process of
republishing sections of volume II of the Annual Report of the State
Board of Charities for the year 1906. The material will be of
interest to local historians who wish a better picture of charitable
institutions in their locale a century ago, to genealogists and family
historians interested in the people who administered charity back then
as well as how any unfortunates housed in these facilities may have
lived, and to those who have questions about the now-politicized "safety
net" for the unfortunates in our society back in those years. This
section addresses the public and private charities in Cayuga County in
1906 that were registered with the State Board of Charities. 7++ pages, in PDF format,
download now for $2.50. |

Cayuga County was separated from Onondaga
County in 1799. You may also want to consult our
Onondaga County page for
locations that may have been affected by this transaction. Cayuga County was subsequently divided to form, first, Seneca County, and then divided again to form (with a portion of Seneca County), Tompkins County. You may want to visit those county pages for additional information. |
