About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This was the cemetery that served the Posey County Poor Asylum Infirmary which stood on Brittle Bank Road in Mount Vernon, IN. It was located behind the building. While no trace of this cemetery remains at the site, interment records still exist. It is not known at this point (at least not by me) whether, or where the cemetery was moved when the Poor Asylum was torn down, though it is possible some may have been moved to the potters field at another cemetery in the area.

Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 4, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (April 2009), gives the primary cemetery name as Poor Farm Cemetery with an alternate name of County Cemetery.
