Ardath: Your are probably talking about what has been called the County Poor Farm. The one I am thinking about is in Craig Township on a road that runs west off of 129. G. Roberts Rd. I referenced the cemetery in my cemetery book, but was unable to find any information. The poor farm has intrigued and has come up in various forms lately indicating to me that it is time to do some serious research on the subject. Haven't gotten to it yet though. Does this help any?
