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.

The cemetery for the County Poor Farm has been lost to time. GPS coordinates on the map tab designate the plat of land that the Poor Farm was on. No known records were kept of the people buried here. The poor farm was also used as a place of execution for the county, where convicted prisoners were put to death by hanging. They were also buried in this cemetery.

From the intersection of FM 244 and HWY 90, go about .4 of a mile on HWY 90 north, to the first brick house on your left. The plat boundaries are either side of this house and extend at a 45 degree N from the Hwy. There is, across the highway from the house, another place with the sign "The Poor Farm," it is not the County Poor Farm of this discourse.

The County Poor Farm was mentioned in passing in the minutes of Commissioners Court on Jan 1, 1927. This is in Book J, Page 243 of Commissioners court minutes.
