Hi Marv: My great Uncle, James Purtell, was a supervisor at the Poor Farm for several years during the 1800's. The Library of MI (right behind the Capital Bldg in Lansing) has the original books from the Poor Farm. You might start there. I don't remember if there was anything in them about the cemetery or not.
