His obit said he died Wed. night at 10:00, that would be the 6th of July, and he was buried on Thursday, the next day. His death certificate had July 6 and the 6 was overwritten with a 7. I know the county infirmary was not a good place to be, but I really doubt they buried him after 10:00 on the night he died. They were not known for their record keeping ability there. I'm going by the obituary with the death date of the 6th. The cemetery at the old poor farm where he was buried no longer exists, and there are no records of it ever being there. When I first talked to Wayne Johnson (cemetery expeert for the Callaway Historical Soc.) he didn't even know they had been burying people there until it started showing up on death certificates as a burial place. The cemetery must have been plowed over and destroyed when the poor farm was no longer in use.
