About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Poorhouse Cemetery is abandoned and overgrown. It contains only two recognizable headstones and the base of a third. There are several dozen sunken graves, some with just a field stone for a marker. It is located adjacent to a parking lot for a public boat launch. The South Branch Potomac River borders it on the west. It is 170 yards SW of the old Hampshire County Poorhouse and 130 yards off of the South Branch River Road Rt. 8. Access to the parking lot is at the Trough General Store.
