This was the burial area for the poorhouse which was called THE COUNTY FARM and for decades people who died while living here were buried past the church, on the other side of a cleared field and in a neglected stand of pines between neighbors trash and old worn out car parts and such. My uncle, James Morgan Irby was buried here in 1927. If my mother hadn't attended thr burial there would be no proof. His short life ended at 13 months. There are a few remaining metal markers but they can be matched to no one. The courthouse has no corresponding information. Seems no one cares.
