BISHOP posted by mike bishop on Wednesday, September 29, 1999: My Great Uncle Price BISHOP died in Woodford County Nov 8 1919 and was buried at the county farm. I've been unable to find any information about this place. On his death certificate the undertaker was D.R. Duell Versailles, Ky. I suspect that Price was a pauper and perhaps this County Farm is a potters field. If anyone can help me I would be thankful,no matter how small the info may seem. Thanks, Mike Bishop.
