Add PhotosThe Franklin County Infirmary cemetery was located on the 265-acre site of Columbus, Ohio's last poorhouse at 1755 Alum Creek Drive in Marion Township. The three-story, 150-room brick residence opened in 1883, and the county added a 125-bed hospital in 1928.
While most of the land was farmed to feed infirmary residents and patients, a small portion was designated as a cemetery for the indigent and homeless. No physical evidence of the cemetery remains today, yet historical records list it as some of our ancestors' final resting place.
The Franklin County Infirmary was razed in 1968 and became the site of Alum Crest Nursing Home. Regency Manor Rehabilitation and Subacute Center replaced Alum Crest in 1991.
The cemetery was established in 1876 and was 1.3 acres in size. The map location is approximate.
The cemetery is located in Marion Township, Franklin County, Ohio, and is # 3583 (Infirmary Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
