In his 80's Orin lived at the Fulton County Home at Ottokee, Ohio, where he earned his room and board using the skills of blacksmithing that he had practiced his entire life. "Out of county funds also, of course, has come the sums neces- sary, from vear to year, to maintain the Fulton County Home, or as it was formerly known the Fulton County Infirmary, at Ottokee. When it was decided by the October election "of 186 9 that the county seat should be removed from Ottokee to Wauseon, it was evident that a good and commodious building used as a court house at Ottokee would soon become vacant, and idle. Therefore, the commissioners of the county, in March, 1874 , the Ottokee -courthouse having been vacated, and the new Wauseon building opened, decided to establish a county institute, or home, for the destitute poor, and to set apart the old court- house at Ottokee for that purpose. Three hundred nearb y acres of land were purchased, a large and commodious barn was built, and the refitted courthouse was ready for occupancy, as a poor home, on May 1. 1874. it being thought that the cultivation of the 300 acres of land would probably in time, ma ke the institution self-sustaining, or nearly so. The present brick structure was built in 1894, and was occupied on Christmas Day of that year, thirty-five to forty charges sitting down to their Christmas dinner in their new home. The building was erected at a cost of about $40,000, was well b uilt, and has since splen- didly served the purposes for which it was intended. There are now twenty-three male and eight female inmates, and the accommodation for them consists of : two single rooms and nine double rooms, two of which are for t hree beds, in the men’s wing ; and two single, and eight double rooms in the women’s wing. There is also a sitting room for the women inmates. In addition, there are the spacious general liv- ing rooms, dining hall, sitting room, and parlor. Th e sanitary condi- tions are excellent, and the building is lighted by electric supply from Wauseon. Those of the inmates who are strong enough, take part in farm work on the agricultural estate of the institution. Altogether there are 294 acres , 271 of which are improved, and tillable, and in most years successfully tilled. In 1919 the sale of farm produce yielded $6,884.45, which contributed subtsantially to the cost of maintaining the institution. In 1919, the total cost of maintena nce was $11,312.75. - A Standard History Of Fulton County, Ohio FRANK H. REIGHARD 1920"
