"My great-grandparents were living on a County poorfarm when I found them in the 1920 Washington Census. They were in  Cowlitz County, Monticello Pct. - I don't really know where the nearest  town was, though. The census pages were in Cowlitz Co. E.D. 52. I'll be curious to see if I can find out more about it."

Here is an excellent newspaper article which emphasizes the life stories of the two inmates among those buried at the cemetery for the Clark County Poor Farm for whom there exist remaining grave markers with names.

And here is another one! 

This is an article about the great work of three women:

"Rose Marie Harshman, Kitty Oman and Mary Snell for three months searched death certificates, funeral home records and newspaper obituaries to create what they believe to be a list of all the men, women and children buried at the farm."

"I have made a copy of the list of Poor Farm Cremations, Seattle (King County),1912. To give due credit, these were transcribed by Ron Cross in 1984 for the Seattle Genealogical Society, which is where I made my copy. The King County Poor Farm was located at 6737 Corson Ave., in Seattle, and this may be the address you see on a death certificate as the place of death. These people were exhumed during the months of November and December, 1912, and all but one were cremated. Some had identifying information, some did not, unfortunately. I would be glad to check the list for anyone who thinks they may have an ancestor, who was laid to rest in this manner."
