David Palance is an expert in locating and mapping old cemeteries and has located the old County Farm Cemetery in Wilton in 2008. According to a Wilton Heritage Commission report the County Farm housed the poor and indigent, the old and the sick, petty criminals, and the insane from 1867 to 1894.He will talk about his cemetery-mapping techniques and how he finds where the bodies lie. It seems a fitting subject for Poe enthusiasts who acknowledge his preoccupation with death in all his writings.
