Join us as we investigate Ashmore Estates!
From 1857 until 1869, the Coles County Poor Farm was located in Charleston Township near the small town of Loxa, Illinois. In 1870, the county purchased 260 acres from A. N. Graham in Section 35 of Ashmore Township for a new farm, which was crossed by the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad. A small timber and brick building, constructed by H. B. Truman, was the first on that property. It was 38 x 58 feet and two stories tall, with an attached kitchen. The initial Superintendent or "Overseer of the Poor" of the county farm was Oliver D. Hawkins, who had migrated in 1841 to Coles County from Kentucky.
As inmates sometimes died at the farm, the county maintained a small cemetery for their burials north of the grounds. In 1879, Joshua Ricketts, superintendent of the county farm, recorded a total of 32 deaths among the estimated 250 inmates who had stayed at the farm between 1870 and 1879. Another pauper cemetery, established a few years later, is visible south of Route 16. It is believed to contain the graves of between 60 and 100 people.
