I drove by there on Saturday, on my way to Wakefield and I didn't get the connection between the numbered stones in the cemetary down the road from the poor farm, but the stones are hard to miss as you drive by. At first I thought it was a religious society or something, but I now see what it really is. These people died while at the county farm.

Imagine having lost everything (EVERYTHING) and having nowhere else to go but to a poor farm?? My wife tells me I worry too much, but I drive by a place like that and my imagination just runs wild.
