Poor House Cemetery Burials

Our many thanks go out to Bill and Judy McPeters owner and operator.
This County Home was on Farmington Road. There are some visible headstones; brick sandstone and rusty funeral home markers mark many of the gravesites. Both White & Black people are buried here
These records were transcribed from McPeters Funeral Home Records in Corinth, Mississippi.
