Joy, I understood that this G-grandson had been to where Nathan is buried, which implied, that there was a marker, although not necessarily. He could'nt remember the name of the cemetery at the time ( we had just buried his mother), but said it was at or close to Hindsville. Nathan's second wife, Lucinda M. Fields, died in Little Rock at the State Hospital, in Jan. 1927, and there was a short death notice in the Madison County Record of Jan. 27, 1927. She is buried in an unmarked grave at the Dunaway Cemetery near Asher, AR ( Newton Co. , I think). I have a copy of her Interment card(?) from your library, that a cousin picked up several years ago. I did not know of him at the time, and it is actually through another cousin that he sent copies to, that I got copies on a trip to her home in Springfield, MO. Do you suppose there would be a death notice or obit? I know he was 85 years old at the time of the 1930 census. Just need a death date , so I could find something in a newspaper concerning his death. He is the only one of Ephraim s children, that has been a brick wall after the 1930 census. Ephraim left Washington Co. AR to NW MO (Holt Co ) by 1870. I even have his obit from 1910! Is there any kind of obituary indexes that would cover the time period from 1930 until whenever? Thanks a lot for your help! I did do a google search, and did read the article you wrote about the poor farm. Mr. Fulkerson was the superintendent when Nathan was living there.

We have published a couple of articles that give the information that we have obtained about it. Yes, there was a cemetery located at the Poor Farm where several of the residents were buried. In fact we have plans of erecting a plaque marking it's location soon....right now the cemetery is merely "sunk-in places" in the middle of a field. As for a list of residents who lived at the Poor Farm....there is none. Nor is there a list of the people who were buried there. We have some obituaries of people who are buried there, and we have talked with some older Hindsville residents who told us some of the people who are buried there. I checked all of the lists for cemeteries around Hindsville, and I find no listing of a burial for your Ntahan Fields. I would say that it is a very likely possibility that Nathan was buried at the Poor Farm Cemetery, if he continued to reside there. Do you feel that he did in fact die at the Poor Farm? Of course, there is also the possibility that family members claimed his body and buried him elsewhere and that this grave is marked only with a fieldstone.
