Union County Home Cemetery and Deaths, Union County, NC

THE UNION COUNTY HOME

(aka: Union County Poor House)

CEMETERY AND DEATHS

Monroe, Union County, North Carolina

This Union County Home, was a place for the aged and infirm, and was

located on Lancaster Ave. This building became Walter Bickett School in 1914,
(nicknamed the "poor house school") when a new county home
was constructed on New Town Road, West of Monroe.

The Union County Home was in various locations throughout the years.

The one shown above had a cemetery located around the corner from the building that now has houses built on it.

The County Home that was on what is now Marion Lee Road off 601 South met the same fate.

The one on New Town Road is where Elizabethan Gardens Rest Home now stands but the cemetery never had any markers. There were some field stones laid down on the grave as it was put there but with no names or dates.

Per Charles Bivens, he says the cemetery for the County Home is located between New Town Road and Weddington Road. Go east Deer Track Road. Turn left on Overlook Drive. Go about 50 yards. Cemetery is about 50 yards to the right in the woods. There are 21 graves with field stones that have no identification and two that have inscriptions. They are Sallie E. Griffin May 6, 1856-Dec 16, 1928 and Margaret Davis May 6, 1851-Apr 14, 1923. Per Ann Medlin Price: “We went there and drove up and down those roads and could find nothing. There has been a lot of development in that area over the last few years.”

SOME BURIALS AT THE UNION COUNTY HOME:

This is an ongoing list and names will be added as found.


Per Ann Medlin Price:
The burials listed here are confirmed from death certificates.
The four cemeteries for the indigent residents of Union County
Homes have long since been destroyed. Only two grave stones had
inscriptions at the time of Charles Bivens survey in 1992. They were
those of Sallie Griffin and Margaret Davis. Death certificate information
compliments of Julie Ganis and Margaret B. Price.
