Special Note: I once saw a map that had a cemetery marked near the Lion's Club picnic grounds on Evergreen. The woman who showed me the map also said she had visited her brother's burial plot in that cemetery many years ago. He was at the Ransom Poor House. I have no other information about it nor have I ever heard anyone else mention this.
