Was there an Alms House/Poor Farm or Nursing Home at Lafayette Twp in 1870s? According to the daily journal kept by my 2nd grgrandfather, Lemuel Wm Kelley, he "went to Lafayette" one day in 1876. Lemuel lived at Brunswick Twp - not exactly nearby Lafayette. 1880 census shows there is someone in Lafayette whose occupation is "Superintendent. I'm searching for the given name of Lemuel's father. Lemuel wrote on May 23, 1879 "father died today". No other mention is made of his father during the 10 years he kept the journal. Does anyone have a list of the burials at Lafayette? I would be most appreciative if someone can check for any "Kelley/Kelly" who died in May 1879. Thanks for any help on this. Lyde
