County Infirmary

The County Infirmary, also known as the County Poor Farm, was located in St. Aubert Township, Callaway Co., Missouri. It was not known until recently that there were burials there until the State of Missouri began publishing death certificates and it was discovered that some of the residents had been buried on the grounds. There is no evidence of these burials, there were probably no markers put up. The only records of these burials is what can be found on death certificates between 1910 and when the "Poor Farm" ceased to exist. I will continue to add persons to this list as I discover them. There is no "official" listing of people who were buried here. I have added whatever information was available on the death certificate. Persons whose name is clickable will have more information.

This is not a complete listing of burials.
