Massac County Poor Farm Cemetery
Also known as Poor Farm Cemetery
Metropolis, Massac County, Illinois, USA
"Metropolis - The county commissioners have sold the county poor farm to B.F. Dunn for $80 an acre. The county has only had to keep one or two inmates there and the expense of keeping up the farm and buildings was much more than it would have cost to have taken care of the inmates otherwise. Massac county is probably the only county in the state that does not need a county farm."
(October 3, 1919, The Daily Herald, Chicago Illinois -- Submitted by S. Williams)
According to Massac County Genealogical Society "this cemetery is located under the parking lot of the new high school - Researched by James E Coles."
Others may have been buried here. These names were from the county death records until 1915.
