The County Poor Farm was located south of Audubon in Section 33 along was is now Highway 71. The cemetery can be found behind the 2 story brick house in what is now Nathaniel Hamlin Park. There are 3 rectangular cement grave markers and the Historical Society has been told there were once crosses marking graves. Dowsing has indicated there are at least 17 additional graves.
Historical Society members are working to cut away tree saplings to clear and clean the area. Additional research in the Supervisor's records is planned.
