"My great grand father Alvin W. Hair died in the County home in Enid, Garfield Co., Oklahoma and I believe people called it the Poor folks home. I received his death certificate that proved he did die there. Hope this helps the Oklahoma Poor Farm page."

"John Jefferson Nelson died on the Poor Farm in Bristow, Creek County, Oklahoma. Does anyone know where a tombstone would be located or where records could be found to be searched?"

"I am from Anadarko, Caddo Co., OK and lived in a former poorfarm house in the latter 1950s, about 4 miles east of Anadarko. The house was at this time a large 13 bedroom, large kitchen, dining room, full basement spacious hallway separating rooms, full length covered porch, huge bell on top of house and surprisingly his & hers outhouses. Several large barns, a creek and farm land with plenty of room for vegetable gardens or whatever. The house was later somehow dismantled into several different sections and moved into Anadarko as residential homes."
