I am looking for information on the poor farm (now the Iron County Medicare) and where the poor staying at the poor farm would have been buried if they could not afford to buy a burial plot. (I know my ancestory is not buried at the Ever Green Memorial Cemetery and he was not buried in the yard at the family farm). I know he died in Iron County at the the poor farm but that the court house has no record of his death. There was no obituary in the Diamond Drill of his death. The church record did indicate that he died at the poor farm but had no mention of where he was buried. His name was Frank Wirtanen. The cencus records do indicate that he was at the poor farm in 1920. He died in June of 1921.
