Jackson County Home (Poor Farm) Cemetery
Much of this information comes from the book "Stone Cities" by Donald B. Wentworth. Names in BOLD have had photos submitted to the Gravestone Photo Project. I hope if you are able to visit the cemetery, you will consider taking photos and submitting them. You can also email me and I can do the submissions for you. Please email with any corrections or additions as well.
The Jackson County Home Cemetery is located in Section 4 of Perry township. The County Porr Farm, as it was originally known, was purchased by Judge Joseph Kelso from Carmel Cotton in June 1858. The GPS coordinates are 42.96896, -91.37388.
Here are some photos taken by the Jackson County Pioneer Cemetery Commission during their work on restoring the cemetery.
