Most of the identified graves are marked with handmade markers that only have names and death dates. Many graves are marked with only rough field stones with no identification.
This was the cemetery of the nearby County Home for the Aged and Infirm (also called the Poor House). The last building housing this facility still stands across the intersection. This cemetery was also used for "pauper's graves."
Although the cemetery had been used for many years, it wasn't until the 1920's that inmates of the nearby prison started making concrete markers for the graves. The earliest identified grave is 1924 and the last is about 1949 (or some say 1953). The home closed in 1955.
