CEMETERY

Poor Farm Cemetery

Marion, KS | Marion County

A short distance north of the poor farm home, a gate leads to a small cemetery. Most of the short or flat gravestones, hidden among the grasses, have a first initial and last name. One flat stone simply says, 'Negro Boy,' but neither he nor some of the others buried here lived at the poor farm.
