But one thing he does not possess, or the following would not be facts. For some time past his father, 84 years of age, and his mother 84 years of age, have been inmates of our county poor house. Last week the old gentleman died. Word was sent to the wealthy son, with the expectation that he would come and at least give his aged father a respectable burial. The son came to the poor house, and sat for an hour without expressing any intention on the subject. He was finally asked if he was going to take his father away, when he said not, that they might bury his father there in the paupers grave. They did so, the son in the meantime staying in the house enjoying himself by the fire until the job was done. He then took his mother home for a visit, stipulating with Mr Conkey, however, that he would not take her name off the books, so he could return her to the kind care of the county. His reason for this conduct is that he had not house room enough to keep the old folks at home. Comment is unnecessary. Thursday, April 23, 1874 - Board of Supervisors Mtg Apr 6th 1874 session On motion, O. S. Conkey, was authorized to make a bill for keeping Mr and Mrs Shaff at the poor house and all expenses connected therewith, and present the same to James Shaff, son of Mr and Mrs Shaff, and demand payment thereof in behalf of the County.
