Community Care of Rutherford County
Based on the information and research of Mr. Ed Annable
1892 – 1946 – The beginnings of the County Farm started as the county government “poorhouse” founded on the property where Community Care now sits. During this period there was a poorhouse, insane asylum, prisoner work house and pest house. On January 6, 1891, an agreement was reached that the county work house should be included in the plan for a self-sustaining “county farm.” By January 4, 1892, it was reported to the county court that acreage on the Jack Wade place had been purchased and the self-sustaining county farm was started. Mr. J. A. Carlton was the superintendent also a minister and for $540.00 per year he had a job description as follows, “feeding and waiting on the paupers, then burying the dead, free of charge to the county.”
On April 2, 1901, a committee was appointed to build a pest house. In the early 1900’s the state of Tennessee endured many diseases such as flu, cholera, smallpox, dysentery, and the worst being yellow fever. Two separate houses were built, one for black patients and one for white patients. Dr. J. B, Murfree, Jr. was employed as the pest house physician at $3.00 per visit.
