Harrison County Home Cemetery
Also known as County Poor Farm Cemetery
Bethany, Harrison County, Missouri, USA
The County Farm was used to house a wide range of individuals including the poor, homeless, the mentally ill and others who were made a ward of the county. This facility was in operation until about 1960.
The two facilities had adjacent cemeteries.
Only one grave, William Loy, was ever marked by an actual tombstone. Most were marked at the time by a pile of rocks, undertaker markers, a mound, and one cypress board. These are long gone. Both areas are now cultivated fields.
Individuals with little or no information, other than "Died at County Farm" may be buried elsewhere.
