The following is a list of those who died at the Martin County Poor Asylum during the period 1867-1937.
The cemetery has on stones. It is possible that many of those listed had no relatives and were buried in
the cemetey at the asylum. Perhaps there were many who had relatives unable to care for them in their
home, but gave them burial in another county cemetery.,,,Martin County Historical Society

and the
