This past summer I posted about the numbered stones in the Ossipee cemetery near the old registry of deeds off Rt.28. I have subsequently found that these are all from the Carroll Cty. poor farm. The names of those buried there are listed by # at the Ossipee public library. A couple of the numbered stones were later replaced with named stones by relatives but only 3 out of about 200. I understand someone by the name of Maryjane Pettingill who used to live in Ossipee did her thesis on poor farms(? I think this one) but I never was able to find a copy to read.
