Butts County Pauper Farm
AKA Potters Field, possibly located at Stark Airport

This Cemetery is thought to have existed within the confines, or close by the county farm which was located at Stark, Ga. Records held by the Probate Judge, Butts County, give some details of INMATES of this farm in the 1880-1890's. In many cases, the inmates were shown as received on one date, and not much later to have died. Therefore, it is assumed that if these inmates died while at the farm, and no other disposition was shown, they were buried at the farm. They are listed below with such information available from the above mentioned records.
To reach possible position, Follow GA 36 East, .9 miles to Stark Rd. & turn Left. Follow this Rd. 3.1 Miles to Singley Road and turn right. Go .1 mile on this road to the airport, which will be on right. Turn left & go approximately .2 miles to the possible location.
