It is Crawford Township, Cherokee County KS. It is the listing for the Cherokee County Poor Farm residents. This is from an old listing of Poor Farm Burials. It is likely not complete. Elizabeth would possibly be Lizzie. I'm guessing Mima may be their daughter Jemina. If this is them, there are only a few readable markers. There probably isn't a way of finding out which ones are them. Name Age Birth Place Death Date Burial Place Comments Cox, Lizzie 79 x 1901/01-09 County Farm x Cox, Mima 62 Indiana 1911/06-24 County Farm x Cox, Sam 70 Georgia 1916/09-26 Cherokee (Colored) ~~~~~~ http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2145006&CScnty=894& You can see its location on a 911 Map here. http://p208.ezboard.com/fcherokeecountykansasfrm2.showMessage?topicID=154.topic If this doesn't work you may contact me personally. ~~~~~~ This may be the family in 1880, and they are in Crawford Co.
