These records were gathered by John Ward, owned by Harold Hoagland (his great, great grandson - blessings upon you two for preserving such a treasure) in the 2000s and copied and typed by Mrs. Homer Royal. The Poor Farm began in Fountain County at least in 1842, possibly earlier. The Fountain County Genealogy Society visited the cemetery site in 2009 and there were only a couple of stones that existed where it is know that well over 100 was buried there.
Thanks to my guru historian who seems to be able to help me out with any question I have in FoCo.
NO TOMBSTONES AVAILABLE FOR PHOTO IN THIS CEMETERY - the cemetery is GONE - thank goodness we have a record of many but not all of the graves - note: I did not see him in the 1850 census
