This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wV.2ADI/879 Message Board Post: Does anyone know where I could get information on the White County Poor Farm and its cemetary. My Ggrandfather, T.O."Oscar" Henderson apparently left his family and I found him in the 1910 Census listed as a "Pauper". When he died, I believe he may have been buried at the Poor Farm Cemetary. His death certificate states "Unknown" on almost every information entry by the Coroner. It said, though that he was buried at "County Farm" which probably is the poor farm. I was told it was where the White Co. Fairgrounds are now located. He may have been a ne'er-do-well, but I'd still like to find some info on his life. Thanks for any information! Martha Poplin

Martha, Our family has a loved one buried in the pauper cemetery in White County, Arkansas. I don't know how widely known it is, but I've been told that you might now recognize this old cemetery only as the White County Fairgrounds parking lot.
