Subject: St. Clair County Poor Farm

Hi all members. I was recently in Michigan and visited what used to be the
St. Clair County Poor Farm, now the Goodells County Park. Nice park, but
there is not a shred of the Poor Farm history preserved in that park, what a
shame! Not even the Poor Farm Cemetery is marked and no sign directing
anyone to it, no sign of its existence. I think this is a travesty of
historical preservation. Does anyone know of or does anyone have any
historical material relative to the Poor Farm?

I am the webmaster for the St. Clair County MIGenWeb and would like to put
something together on it. I would also like to start an effort to have the
cemetery fence fixed up and get a monument in there with the names of the
souls who are spending their eternal sleeps in that little patch of ground.
I also think the park should have a kiosk or something of the sort with
history about the Poor Farm. After all, they are creating an historical park
there and the farm is a very rich part of that history.

Kathleen
