I tried going to the rootsweb place to answer this gal as I do have a list of names in the Poor Farm cemetery. But I couldn't get the rootsweb thing to work right. This is what I said-- maybe the gal will read it, but guess not if she doesn't subscribe to the Henderson mail list-- could someone forward this to her? Or she may have already got her answer. And I am curious about the pest house. Does someone know the answer to that? Thanks Helen Zuber Keusch There is a list of the county farm burials at the county farm-- in fact there are two lists, one for whites and one for blacks. Several are buried there. Who are you looking for? I have seen articles refering to the "pest house". I am wondering was the county farm and the pest house the same, or were they two different buildings? I know the poor farm is where you went if you were desitute and had no family to live with. What criteria did you have to meet to go to the pest house? Was it for diseased people with no family? I do subscribe to the list, so any answer can be posted on the Henderson mail list and not go through rootsweb. Thanks Helen Zuber Keusch
