The Orange County Home for the Poor was located at the intersection of what is now called The Efland-Cedar Grove Road and The Lebanon Church Road. The farm was located in the Southeast quadrant and the cemetery in the Northwest quadrant. Only a few of the graves are marked but now is a good time to see it because it was recently mowed. Some of the farm outbuildings are still standing. It is my understanding that deaths and burials at the county home were items on the county commissioners' minutes available in Raleigh at the Department of Archives. To visit the poor farm site, go to Efland. US 70 is its main street. Go on 70 West to the Presbyterian Church. Turn North on the Efland Cedar Grove Road. The Lebanon Church Road intersect about 3 miles North.

I am looking for Reuben and Stacey Carden. Stacey died in the Poor House on 2/29/1859. Reuben died in 1861--after September 1. Is there a specific cemetery paupers would have been buried in during that time? Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
