Hi, just reading through this, where was the Poor Farm? Out by where the Forest Products Mill is (or was?) Thanks. Mary Sue **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home. (http://home.aol.com/diy/home-improvement-eric-stromer?video=15&ncid=aolhom00030000000001)
The one we've been cleaning up is behind the Barry County Care Center, formerly the Barry County Farm. If a person passes the Care Center on his/her left, and then turns left at the next street, that will take you to the site. Go up to the hill and there will be a tall white steel building/shed, and the little fenced-in piece of property just past it, also on the left side of the road is the place. This is the newer County Farm Cemetery. The older one is on the east side of town. You have to go out Highway 248 and turn south off of it sharply at the edge of town and follow that road a couple of miles. On the left side there is a large, grated/bulldozed "minihollow," and at the top of the bank is where the old cemetery was. Neither have markers of any kind. Jack and Ted could tell you more, as they have done the research and legwork on this one. jay --- Mspmsp@aol.com wrote: > Hi, just reading through this, where was the Poor > Farm?
