His death certificate says he is/was buried in the Poorhouse Cemetery. I have been told there were records from the Alms House at one time - a book in the Clay County Courthouse. Has anyone ever seen this, or know its whereabouts? Also I was told that whoever purchased the Alms House from those who owned it AND the cemetery, bulldozed the headstones in the cemetery down years ago. Does anyone know the location of these two places? Thanks!
