The County Poor Farm was a place where old folks could live if they had no
means of supporting themselves. The county paid from twelve to
fifteen dollars a month for the care of each person living here.
This money provided the bare necessities of life-clothing, food, and
medicine. When the old folks died, many were buried in a cemetery on the county farm. Their graves were marked with native rocks. There is no longer any resemblance of a cemetery here. The rock markers have been scattered and trees have grown up through the graves. In this quiet wooded spot rests many of those who, through their working years, never thought they would end life's journey at the "County Poor Farm". |
