Near Fergus Falls, MN (WDAY TV) – A Perham man has been on a mission the last two years. Giving a voice and a name to those buried in a forgotten cemetery outside of Fergus Falls. Years ago, when impoverished immigrants in Otter Tail County could not afford a grave for their loved ones, the dead ended up at the Poor Farm Cemetery. That cemetery disappeared in the weeds, until now.
At the end of a dusty, thorny farmfield road, 176 people are finally getting the honor and recognition that has taken more than a century. In the late 1800s and early 1900s in Otter Tail County, those with nothing went to the Poor Farm when they died.
