    1. [ARMADISO] County Poor Farm
    2. Wilma Fields
    3. Several questions: 1. Where was it located? 2. Where would burials have been for "lodgers" that may have died while there? Was there a "Poor Farm Cemetery"? 3. Did family members ever claim the body? I have a 1930 Madsion Co. Census, dated April 14, 1930, that lists my Nathan Fields as a lodger at the Madison County Poor Farm. I know, for a fact, that some family descendents still in Madison Co. to this day, although one son (Nathan Savada Fields) was in Springfield Mo, and the other son (Burrton E. Fields) was living in White River Twp.,Madison Co. in 1930, before he and his wife went to Lebanon, MO. This son, died at his sons' (Ellsworth Fields) home at Elkins in 1978. Both of Nathan Noble Fields' sons are buried at Liberty Cemetery, north of Springfield, MO. I cannot find Nathan on the Arkansas Death Index, and have been told by G-grandchildren, that he was buried at a cemetery near Hindsville. I have no idea what cemetery. Any help on finding any information on Nathan Noble Fields, born about 1848, KY, and died after April 14, 1930, is appreciated! I do have all the census records from KY, AR, MO, KS, IA, where he lived at various times in his life the last being the 1910, 1920, and 1930 Census in Madison Co. AR Thanks! Wilma
