While researching local haunted places to write about, I kept finding references to people being buried in the Poor Farm Cemetery in Roy, Utah. The strange part was that I’m very familiar with the cemeteries in this area and I had never heard of the Poor Farm Cemetery before. Most of the mentions of burials at the Poor Farm were of older people with no family to care for them. There were also mentions of people who got sick and died while passing through town. The poor farm was also sometimes used as a pest house in the late 1800s.
