Records of the Society for the Relief of the Sick and Destitute, 1817-1847

"With the increase in immigration that began after the War of 1812, the Town of York soon found itself with an increasing number of poor and destitute individuals and families that had no way to support themselves. In response to the increased need, members of the ruling oligarchy formed the Society, which 'for many years was the major welfare agency in York.'"--Introd.
