In 1912 the County Judges voted to move the newly named 'County Infirmary' to a new location and purchased land in Section 2, Township 53, Range 18 which is east of Keytesville and visible from Highway 24. Construction was started on a large sandstone, brick and concrete structure in 1913 which began housing the indigent and disabled in 1915. A graveyard of concrete markers with no names and just a cross cut-out is all that marks the older graves. In more recent years, the few burials are identified with the 'modern' stones. In 1951 the county sold the building to Jasper and Mildred Coy who operated a rest home with their son, Dr. Thomas Coy. The rest home was closed before 1980 and the building set vacant. It was demolished June 17, 2019.
