Contributed by Rosemary Reeves

The Cemetery for the residents of the County Farm was a short distance south and west of the big brick County Farm Home, in the very center of section 35, Pittsfield Township. The report is that there are no stones there. The following list is made up of names found at the court house and the two funeral homes in Pittsfield. Many times the place of burial was not given. The names are all listed together with explanatory words after them. Those marked "lived" or "died" may or may or may not have been buried there. No explanatory word means buried there.
