NYA project clears Meigs County Infirmary land in three months
Meigs County Infirmary’s 101 acre farm near Pomeroy, once overgrown, has been reclaimed by NYA workers led by Superintendent Allard Pratt and supervisor George Bowers. They cleared 35 acres of cultivation land, restored buildings, built a road to the graveyard, created a grove from second growth timber, and prepared firewood from cut trees. The project started Dec. 27 and ended Apr. 3, with 32 residents remaining at the infirmary.
