Several years ago, the family of a man (sorry, I don't know his name at the
moment) donated to the Charlestown Library a record he had maintained of
deaths at the old County Poor Farm near Charlestown.
The staff of the Charlestown Library has shared with me a database they
created of the names and dates found in this record. It is on-line at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~incccpc/countypoorfarmcem.html
There are mentioned here 91 residents of the County Poor Farm who died there
between 1923 and 1939. Their ages range from 37 to 87, but most are listed as
age unknown.
If you are interested in examining the actual record, I understand it is
rather fragile and the book is not left out on display at the Library. You
have to ask one of the reference librarians to get it out for you.
I thought some of you might be interested in this information.
