State Almshouse Inquiry Shines Light on Marsh Family
A legislative committee reports on a long inquiry into the Tewksbury almshouse led by Captain Marsh. It finds lax accounting and suspicions around small cash balances but credits Marsh with long service and integrity. The report criticizes governance while praising the institution and condemns governor's rhetoric during testimony.
