Esther, There used to me a cemetery over by Mineral Area Hospital that was considered a pauper's cemetery (or Poor Farm Cemetery). That may have been referred to as the St. Francois Cemetery. There are no stones left there that I'm aware of. However, I'll look and see if I have any kind of listing which was maybe compiled from obituaries. Another possibility is the grouping of cemeteries behind the Catholic Church in Park Hills. That area of town was once known as St. Francois. There are 5 separate cemeteries back there.
