Anderson, South Carolina, at one time in the past, operated a facility known as "The County Home". This facility had responsibility for the overall care of those who could not provide for themselves or who had little or no assistance available through family or friends.

There was a cemetery associated with the facility but it had been long forgotten until the 1999 time frame. The cemetery was rediscovered as land was cleared and
construction started on a group of convention and recreational facilities. Small ground level stones have been placed on each spot that has been identified as a
grave. These stones contain only a simple floral scroll. To the extent possible, those buried in the cemetery have been identified. Each individual has been remembered by having their name placed on a plaque that is attached to a single monument.
