    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3FC.2ACI/3874.1 Message Board Post: We used to drive through the grounds when I was a kid. It is still there, although now it holds some county offices. Its actually just west of New Richmond. For many of the poor houses in WI, the residents were buried on the grounds. On some of the little cemeteries near these poor houses/asylums, the people are in unmarked or numbered graves. In the county I worked in, the director of human services had a record of who was buried in each plot. Sometimes families would come and give them a proper stone. Good luck in your search.
