A 1901 article by Robert H. Humphreville titled \u201cCharities of Carlisle\u201ddescribes the towns\u2019 five different charitable facilities.\u00a0They include a hospital, an Old Ladies\u2019 Home, a Children\u2019s Friend Benevolent Society, and the County Poor House and Insane Asylum.\u00a0Humphreville gives a detailed description of each of the facilities and makes abundantly clear his feelings toward the people that have made these places work. \u201cOpportunity nor space will allow the description due to any or all of these institutions of human kindness, whose founders and maintainers deserve to be immortalized as so many good Samaritans who dress the wounds caused by violated laws and pour the oil of kindness into troubled souls.\u201d He makes clear that by giving to these causes, these people have enriched their lives in ways that most people cannot fathom.<\/p>\n
