MR. FRANK REPASS BROWN'S
WYTHE COUNTY, VA PRIVATE CEMETERY RECORDS

     The following private cemetery records were taken from the records of Mr. Frank Repass Brown, of Rural Retreat, Virginia.    They ARE NOT a complete listing of all private cemeteries in Wythe County, VA.

     These cemeteries were copied by Mr. Brown, beginning in the 1930's.    The compiler (Joe Cameron) has copied the information exactly as stated by Mr. Brown unless a clarification was needed, but these records have not been verified by Cameron.    Mr. Brown, however, was personally known by Cameron, and in his opinion, these records are as accurate as can be possible.

     The location descriptions for some of these cemeteries are not very clear - some are even unknown to Cameron.    It was felt, however, that Mr. Brown's words should not be changed in any way.    Time permitting, Cameron will later add better descriptions of the cemetery locations.

     First on this page, you will find a map sketch of Wythe County, and you will notice that the county is divided into 4 major sections; A, B, C, and D.    Each section is divided from the others by the two major highways in Wythe County, US Highway # 11, that runs East/West and US Highway # 21/52, which runs South/North.

     Within each individual sections, you will find numbers.    These numbers refer to the approximate location in the county of the cemeteries.    Many of the numbers on Mr. Brown's original map were missing, and I have tried to correct that in cases where I knew the approximate locations that he was referring to in his text.

     Before the listing for each individual cemetery, the location description, in Mr. Brown's words, will be displayed, and will be preceeded by a underlined number such as; D7.    The D7 indicates that the people buried in the following list are buried in the cemetery shown in section D of the sketch map, at number 7.

     These location numbers shown before each cemetery location description WILL BE CLICKABLE so that the reader can flip back to the map to find the approximate locations of the cemeteries within the county. Then, using your browser's back button, you can return to the cemetery listing.

     If this procedure is too confusing to you or your browser, you can right click on the map, and use the save as feature to save the map image to your hard drive and then print a copy of the map.

     When Mr. Brown's records were typed, there were errors made.    You may notice a number on the map and find no cemetery listed for that number. On the other hand, you may find a cemetery with a location number and that number may not be on the map.    I [Cameron] will correct such errors if I notice them, and IF I know how to correct the error.

     [Cameron note]The following lists were typed in the order found in Mr. Brown's records.    I have also made a listing of ALL NAMES in ALL CEMETERIES, listed in alpha order.   Click HERE to view the alpha listing.

      If anyone has knowledge of someone buried in any of these cemeteries and they are not listed, I would appreciate your input as to the person or persons missing and the source of your knowledge, and I will make corrections and site the source of the information.



A1   FOGLESONG: This cemetery is in Crawfish Valley, about 30 or 35 rods SW of the old Foglesong homplace.   It had been enclosed with a plank fence but it was about gone. It is about 10 yards square.    Several trees - cedar and maple - were along the fence.    Only 3 of the graves had markers with inscriptions on them.    Several of the other graves were marked with rough rocks, others are not marked at all.    There is a question as to the exact number of graves.    The below sketch gives the best I could make of it.

    Cameron's note: Simon Foglesong's stone stood left of Susannah's.    It was destroyed many years ago by the weapons of stupid hunters.    Only 4 adult graves are in the cemetery.    The other graves are that of children, some said to be Waddle children, who lived in the old house that stood near the old large Hickory tree.


    D2   NEFF: This cemetery is near the Greek Neff home, and just east of Fairview Church south of Rural Retreat.    It is enclosed with a good metal fence and is in fair condition.

    There are 3 graves of a Wynn family marked with rocks with inscriptions, and a number of graves marked with rough rocks with no inscriptions.

    A3   DOAK: This cemetery is on Black Lick on the Harlow Hounshell farm about 1/2 mile north east of Marvin Church.   It is on a knoll - a lovely location.    It is about 25 yards east and west and 30 yards north and south.    It is not fenced in.    It has a large wild cherry [gone] in the middle of it with no other shrubbery or plants and the ground has been leveled at some time and has good sod on it.    The number of graves is unknown and the stones have been piled up around the wild cherry [gone] in the center of the cemetery.    The rocks with inscriptions on them are as follows:    Sacred to the memory of;

  • A3----Doak, David D., d. Jan. ???, age 77y
  • A3----Doak, Polly, d. Aug. 19, 1826, age 76y his wife

    The last names on the above stone were not readable but on the same stone.    There was an inscription on the back of the rock, but I could not make out what it was.    The rock is sandstone and had consideralbe work on it.    It was about 30 inches tall, 16 inches wide, and 5 inches think.    Two other small, regular creek rocks with inscriptions on them by some inexpereinced person were;

  • A3----Doak, Geroge W.
  • A3----Doak, William

    A son of Peter Fisher, in 1881, was the last to be buried in this cemetery.   [Cameron note: In recent years, during a Doak Family Reunion, a modern stone memorial to the Doak Family was placed in the cemetery.]

    A4   NEWLAND: This cemetery is on the John L. Brown farm on Black Lick.    It is up on the hill some distance from the house.    It is not enclosed with a fence and has no planting of any kind excepting a tree.    The number of graves is unknown but there are only a few of them.    None are marked with a rock of any kind.    They are supposed to be Newlands and mostly children.
    A5   FRY: This cemetery is on lower Black Lick north east of the cave.   This cemetery is small and a comparatively new one, and is enclosed with a good metal fence and is in good condition.    The rocks with inscriptions on them are as follows:

  • A5----BACK, Hettie R., Aug. 3, 1870, Mar. 22, 1939 wife of Stephen V. Frye
  • A5----FRYE, Stephen V., Apr. 27, 1854, Jun. 12, 1940
  • A5----FRYE, Margaret Davis, Jul. 17, 1853, Apr. 19, 1935 wife of Stephen, m. Fe. 28, 1878

    Near the above graves are several other graves-whose or how many is not known.    The exact location is perhaps lost. [Cameron possibly slaves.]

    A7   EARHART: This cemetery is on the Seldon Repass farm on Black Lick.    It is enclosed with a metal fence and is in fair condition.    The exact number of graves is unknown.

  • A7----STEPTOE, Marion, Sep. 26, 1840, May 4, 1873 wife of H.C. Earhart

    There were several slaves buried in the row on the east side of the cemetery.    In the summer of 1952, Olive had the Earhart Family Cemetey cleaned up, had all trees, shrubbery, etc. removed and had it all leveled up.    She had all the tombstones taken up and cleaned, had several broken rocks replaced and one made for the slaves that are buried here.    She then had a ditch dug around the whole cemetery like one for a building, then had concrete put over the whole thing.    It was made a number of inches think and reinforced with metal fencing.    She had the tombstones that belonged there laid flat in the concrete over the graves where they belonged, the top of them smooth with the concrete.    A large old field oak tree is west of this cemetery just across the road from it and it shades the most of the cemetery.    It is still enclosed with a field metal fence.

    A8   WARD: This cemetery is on the Rev. W.R. Brown farm on Black Lick. [Cameron's note The cemetery is on the east side of the Black Lick Road up behind a large brick home just before route# 681 that goes to the left.]    It is up in a field, unfenced-all grown up with brush.    It has a large field oak tree at it.    It has not been leveled up or taken care of.

    The graves of Col. James, and Capt. John are covered with large flat rocks.    Louisa's stone has the inscription; "Peaceful be thy silent slumber, peaceful is thy grave so low, then shall pain no more shall un number, then no more shall out songs shall no, death leaves a shinning mark."    The stone of Jane Spence has the inscription, "Her husband and 4 children mourn her irreparable loss, the social circles and the Church of Christ on earth loose a bright and worthy member.    Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, they may rest from their labors and their words do follow them."    The stone for Elizabeth Ward is nearly buried in the ground so I could not read all the inscription.    The stone for Adam M. Spence has the inscription, " While yet thy mother's grave lain, Thine by its side is dug, Dear booy as earthly ties are risen, Thy soul is joined to her in Heaven."    The stone of Jane, wife of Capt John Ward, has the inscription, " In her children's grace she leaves a bright example to her children and friends."
    A9   PRUNER: This cemetery is on the W.G. Howe, or Stanley farm on Black Lick.    [Cameron's note: NE of the present house near the bridge over Reed Creek, on route # 625, into Crawfish Valley.]    It is on the hill NE of the house and had several nice nice, old sandstone rocks with inscriptions but they have been destroyed, and the place is lost to most people.    There is a question as to the family and the number that are buried there.
    A10   WAUKER: [WALKER] This cemetery is on the William Bales farm on Black Lick, SW of the house.    It contained two graves with nice sandstone rocks with inscriptions.    The rocks had a good deal of elaborate work on them.    They were 30 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 5 inches thick, and were in the ground good and tight.    About 1954-1956, the stones were destoryed.

    D11   BUCHANAN: This cemetery is west of Rural Retreat, on the road to Groseclose, on the William Hankla farm [Cameron--later the Clyde Robinson farm] up on a hill on the south side of the road.    It is enclosed with a good metal fence but is grown up with all kinds of brush and briars and is in a disgraceful condition.

    [Cameron note: Of the two Buchanan Cemeteries in the area, Cameron thinks the one at D11 is the oldest, and the first Buchanan in the area, Robert, is buried here.    Cameron thinks the old Robert Buchanan home stood near the big spring just southwest of the cemetery.]
    D12   BUCHANAN: This cemetery is in sight of the Buchanan Cemetery at D11, but is on the north side of the road and the railroad, on the old Alexander Buchanan farm, today owned by the Leedy family.    [Cameron--the cemetey is on the north side of the railroad and almost due north of the old Jim Neff farm, known today as the Fred Lindamood farm.]

    It is enclosed with a good metal picket fence, in good shape, about 8 by 10 yards.   There is a spot next to the fenced in part about 30 x 30 feet that could to be plainly viewed as a cemetery and that was fenced and a part of the present fenced in cemetey.    The number of graves in the present unfenced part is unknown, and the identities of these graves are unknown.    Perhaps they were slaves and/or tenant farmers, or later land owners.

    D33   BUCHANAN: This cemetery is in Capt. John Buchanan's garden east of the house.    The location is being cultivated over and is lost.    There are no grave markers, but two of Capt. John's infants are buried here, and one or more adult graves of a Steffey.

    [Cameron note] The Capt. John Buchanan place was the old log home that stood southeast and down the hollow from the Paul Buck home, in Rural Retreat.    The old log house was the home of the original settler, Henry Steffey, Sr.    The adult Steffey grave is most likely that of Louisa, Henry Steffey, Sr.'s wife.]

    D13   PHILLIPPI: This cemetery is on the Luther Phillippi farm south of Rural Retreat, on the road to Cedar Springs.    [Cameron -- this location is just before you get to the dam for the Rural Retreat Lake.    The old Phillippi home sits just off and on the east side of the road in a sharp curve, and across the road and up on the hill from the house is the cemetery.    The exact location is unknown because there are no markers and never have been according to Phillippi family members.]    Isiaiah Phillippi, a brother to Luther was born in 1855 - a young unmarried man and one other of that family are buried in this cemetery.    Christian Phillippi, and his wife are supposed to also be buried here.    [Cameron note: This Christian was the one who married Catherine Dutton]

    [Cameron note: According to Mr. Brown, James L. was the first person killed at First Manassas, in 1861, but this is an error.    James L. was a member of the 29th VA, and was killed at Cold Harbor.]

    D15   KEESLING: This cemetery is just a short distance behind the old Keesling Mill, at Cedar Springs, VA.    It is well fenced and is in good condition and most of the graves are marked with stones and inscriptions.

    D18   HORN: [Cameron note: I believe the location to be in error.    I think this is the Horn Cemetery, in Dark Hollow, east of Camp, but west of Cedar Springs.]    Following is the description of Mr. Brown.

    This is east of Camp.    It has been cleaned up and grassedand thrown out in a pasture boundary.    There must be 25 or 30 graves marked with rough creek rock with no inscriptions.    Only one stone is standing with an inscription.    Those with inscriptions are:

    D21   ENGLEDOVE: This cemetery is on the old Straw farm in the St. Paul Neighborhood north of Lee Highway on one of the knolls.    The number of graves is unknown, none have rocks with inscriptions, and the exact location has been lost in the last generation. [Cameron note] The cemetery is actually on the south side of Lee Highway, and just west of the present day Martha DeBoard place.]

    D22   PEERY: This cemetery was on the Peery farm southwest of the Peery house, and southwest of the old Groseclose Mill.    It was enclosed with a good metal fence and is in good condition.    It contained only three graves that were marked with rocks and inscriptions.  [Cameron note: The Groseclose Mill was at the present day location of King's Apple Orchard.]

    The three Peery bodies and their markers were moved on October 24 and 25, 1958, to the St. Paul Church Cemetery by R. G. Williams, the land owner where the cemetery was located.    They were buried next to William Peery's wife.   The inscription on her stone reads; "Theresa consort of William Peery, Dec. 14, 1796, Mar.21, 1867."    The grave marker to Harvey G. and Elizabeth Peery is a nice large granite marker, and the one for William Peery is a marble monument.

    A26   HUDDLE: Just east of the J.P.M. Huddle home and west of the Staley Filling Station.    The number of graves and the identities are unknown and the exact location has been lost.    [Cameron note: The old log home which stood just north of the large Weeping Willow Tree at the spring on the north side of Highway # 11, which later became the Huddle place was the original home of Benjamin Staley.    The identities of those in the cemetery are most likely Staley children, or slaves.]

    A34   AKERS: Just across Lee Highway northwest of Lake Mt. Airy. Just one grave is marked - perhaps there are other graves, you cannot tell.    It is all grown up in brush and is in a disgraceful condition. [Cameron note] Cemetery is on the north side of Lee Highway and behind the Frank & Angie Heldreth home.    In 1998, Cameron and his brother cleaned the cemetery and found other graves - some marked.    It is grown up again since the present land owners wanted me and my brother to supply the materials and the time to fence the cemetery.]

    [Cameron note: The Staleys above do not have rocks with inscriptions,    I know these Staleys to be buried here because I found references to the fact in old court records.    The cemetey is at least 30 X 30 feet, and contains many unmarked graves which I feel sure are of other early Staleys and/or their families.]

    A35   SNAVELY: Located on a hill west of the old Snavely Rock House on Black Lick about 3 miles north of Rural Retreat, the exact location and number and identities of the graves are unknown.    [Cameron note] Miss Lilia Huddle stated that she had been told that Jacob Snavely, Sr, and his wives were buried in this cemetery.    I am not sure if they are here, or in the Kimberling Church Cemetery, so I will list them as being buried here near the Old Snavely Rock House.]

    D37   NEWLAND: Located on the Phil Newland farm on Cripple Creek, just southwest of Cedar Springs, the cemetery is on a knoll east of the old Newland brick house.    It is about 20 by 25 square yards, and sometime in recent years, a fence has been put around a small part of it, about 12 yards square.    The graves that are marked with rocks and inscriptions are inside this fence.    There are a number of graves outside the fence marked with rough rocks with no inscriptions.    There is a large nice white pine and a small Cedar in the cemetery, and the cemetery is in good shape.

    D38   HILLENBURG: Located on the Hillenburg farm about 1/2 mile south of Crockett and north east of where Cleave Wampler lives, the cemetery is off the road and on a hill sloping to the east.    The old fence that was around the cemetery is gone and it is thrown out in a pasture boundary.    About 15 yards square, there is no way to tell how many graves or who is in the cemetery as there are no rocks of any kind there.    Some 10 to 12 Locust trees and a clump of Wild Plumbs and a good deal of Myrtle is on the location.    There is a pile of loose rock and a number of loose field rock lying around there.
    B39   UMBERGER: The Henry Umberger Cemetery is on the Rose Hill Farm northwest of Wytheville.    The first Umbergers to come to Wythe County are said to be buried here.    The graves ae not marked, the number is not known, there is no fence around the cemetery, but the location is known.   There are supposed to be about 30 graves in the cemetery.

    B44   BROWN: Located in the yard just east of the house at the Asa Brown place, the exact place and number of graves is unknown but it is only a few and perhaps children.    It is supposed to be the graves of children of Asa Brown, or one of Christopher's.    This is the only one of my people who buried in the family cemetery with possibly one exception.
    A45   CASSELL: Located on the old Jacob Cassell, Sr. place about 3/4 mile north east of Kimberling Church, there are only a few graves here, none with rocks with inscriptions.   Who is buried here is not known.    Formerly, a large oak tree stood at the place, but it was cut down and I think the cemetery is being farmed over.

    [Cameron note: Mr. Brown was in error on naming this cemetery.    At one time, the land belonged to the Cassell family, but it was because OLD Black Lick Michael Cassell had married Catherine, a daughter of Jacob, Sr. & Anna (Hough) Tobler.    This is really a Tobler Cemetery, although it is possible some Cassell children are buried here, but I think not.]

    [Later in his notes, Mr. Brown mentions that he was told this was a Tobler Cemetery, going back to the Toblers, the first family to live in this area and owned a lot of land.]

    [The exact number of graves is unknown, and at one time, there were rough creek rocks outside the old rail fence - these graves said to have been slaves.    The cemetery was destroyed in 1913 by the then present land owner.    The huge old Oak tree was cut down by Alf Mozer, and his nephew, Jim.    Jim stood INSIDE the old hollow tree pulling the old cross cut saw, while his uncle stood on the outside.    The huge base log was halled away in a wagon with hay racks and Jim said the log hung over the racks and that 4 horses were needed to move the wagon.    Ray Buck was the owner and operator of the horses and wagon.]

    [The stones from the cemetery, what few there were, were taken by the land owner to the intersection of the old Tobler Road, and the road to the Kimberlin Church, and destroyed with sledge hammers to put in chug holes in the road.]

    [According to some of the old Musser, who were related to the Toblers, it is known the following people are buried in this cemetery.]

  • A45---TOBLER, Anna Maria, wife of Jacob, Sr.
  • A45---TOBLER, Jacob, Sr., bc1735, d. between Sep. & Dec., 1817
  • A45---TOBLER, John Jacob, Nov. 2, 1799, d. after 1870
  • A45---TOBLER, Mary Magdalene, b. Oct. 3, 1803, d. Jul.7, 1868
    D46   YOUCK: Located on the Fontaine farm several miles west of Wytheville, there are suposed to be 5 or 6 graves here, all of them Youcks.    None of the graves are marked and the location is perhaps lost.
    D47   UMBERGER: Located on the Dewey Corvin farm, there are several graves here, but none are marked.    They are said to be Umbergers.
    D48   WALTERS: Located on the Jim Dix farm south of New Bethel Church, there are several graves here, said to be walters, but none are marked and the location is perhaps lost.    There is another cemetery on this same farm, but the number of graves and the identities are unknown.    This location also may be lost.
    D50   GRUBB: Located some distance south of the railroad at Grubb's Siding, on a Catron's farm southwest of the house.    It contains a number of graves, only one has a rock with an inscription.    The cemetery is supposed to be mostly Grubbs.    The fence is gone, but two small Apple trees remain.    Tradition states Tom Grubb is buried here.    It has been farmed over.

  • D50---JACKSON, Mary Ellen, Jan. 3, 1857, Apr. 29, 1860 dau. of James & Sarah
    C51    HENLEY: Located about 1/4 mile southeast of Bethany Lutheran Church, or the Henley School House, it is across the hill to the south of and not in sight of the road.    It is about 17 yards square and has been fenced but the fence is now gone.    It is all grown up with Sassafras, Wild Crab and Apple trees and live stock use it for their shade and to tromp in.    It does not have any rocks with inscriptions but has a number of rough field rocks marking graves.    You cannot tell the number of graves but it must be 25 or 30.    It has not been used as a burial place for years, but is undoubtly one of the oldest in the section.
    C52   GOSE: Located on the Julian White farm near the old Sheriff Crockett place south of Wytheville, the graves are not marked, and the location perhaps lost.    The graves are children of Robert Gose.
    C53   PERCIVAL: Located on the old Slangler farm on the road west of St. Peter's Church, the rocks have been removed and the location is being farmed over.
    C54   FRY: Located about a mile east of Cripple Creek Station [Cameron note: On Wanda Sue Fry place - 1997] the cemetery is north of and in sight of the road, up on a hill behind where the old Valentine Fry house stood.    It is enclosed with a wire and plank fence and is in good condition and well cared for.

    The family said Valentine died a young man, and guessed his birth date.    There are some 25 to 30 unmarked graves in the cemetery, most of the names are not Fry.

    [Cameron note]  *Daniel McRae married Valentine Fry's widow, Mary (Yonce) Fry after Valentine died. The birth year above is clearly in error. According to the 1860 census, he was born about 1775 :on the sea." Daniel was my gg grand father through his daughter, Esther, who married James W. Cameron.

    Wanda Sue stated that after Daniel died, Mary (Yonce) Fry McRae went to live with a Murry (perhaps related) family in Tazewell County, Virginia, and died there. Wanda Sue states Mary is not buried in the Fry Cemetery.

    Wanda Sue also stated that a Lloyd Fry, from somewhere in Kansas, came to Cripple Creek in the 1960's and had the stones for Valentine and Daniel's graves made and placed in the cemetery. I have Lloyd to thank because before that, I did not know where my gg grandfather, McRae was buried.]

    C55   GANNAWAY: Located some distance to the south of the road that goes down Cripple Creek, about a mile or more from Speedwell.   It is small with a fence around it, but it was so grown up with all kinds of briars and brush, I did not get in it.    So far as I could tell, there were no rocks with inscriptions, but contained 6 to 10 graves.    As far as I could find out, they were all Gannaway graves.
    C56   MATHEWS: Located off to the east and out of site of the Lakes To Florida Highway, a mile or more north of Speedwell.    It has had a wire fence around it, but it is gone now and is thrown out in a big grazing boundray.    It has a small number of trees in it but no other planting of any kind.    The ground is bare - the live stock use it as their shade and stomping place.    It contained 5 rocks with inscriptions that I could read and one that I could not.    There are two rows of graves, the other had 4 or 5 graves marked with field rock without any inscriptions.

    C59   SANDERS/WHITMAN: Located one mile south of James Patton on the road that runs east and west that comes out at Richard Roe's.    The cemetery is about 18 by 43 yards - the long way is east and west.    The cemetery is in a lovely place but it has been abandoned.    It is a wilderness of all kinds of brush and briars with a wire fence around it.    There were a number of graves without any markers to them.

    C60   DAVIS: Located on the Slate Spring Branch Road near the old Johnson home, it is some distance to the north and out of sight of the road.  .  It is some size - contains an acre or more and is in the best shape of any family cemetery I have seen in the county.    There are no trees, shrubs, or flowers on it, but has a lovely Pine on one side of it.    I did not see the oldest grave with a marker to it but this is not an old cemetery, possibly not 75 years.    A high percent of the graves are marked with rocks with inscriptions: the family names are; Umberger, Davis, Groseclose, Swecker, Sexton, Williams, White, Smith, Rice, Caudle, Sheffey, Worrell, Eversole, Johnson, Fisher, Lawson, Walcott, Collins, Harmon, Grubb, Spencer, and Aker.

    [Cameron note: I think the location number, C60, is in the wrong place on the map sketch.    I think this is the Davis Cemetery, on Cripple Creek, and the location is actually closer to C61 on the map sketch.    See my website at: http://home.naxs.com/cameronnet/    under family and other cemeteries for a listing of burials in this cemetery.]

    C61   CROCKETT: Located a short distance northwest of the school house near Cripple Creek Station, it is well fenced and cared for nicely.
    C62   McGAVOCK: Located about 9 miles east of Wytheville on the south side of the Lee Highway, it is about 24 by 30 yards, and is enclosed with a heavy metal picket fence built on a heavey limestone fountation.    The location and view is perfect, but the cemetery has been badly neglected the past few years.

    [Cameron note: The cemetery is now actually within the boundary of the Fort Chiswell Mall.]

    C72   OGLESBY: Located in the extreme east end of the county, and 1 1/2 miles south of Lee Highway, it is in a lovely location on a hill sloping to the southeast overlooking a stream.    It contains an acre or more of ground land; is enclosed with a good wire fence, and contains some of the largest and loveliest Book Woods I have ever seen.    Judging from their size and the age of the cemetery, some of them must be over 150 years old.    There are also a number of nice Cedars here to.    The cemetery is not all grown up with briars and brush like so many of them are, but it contains an unusualy number of sunken graves and grave markers that are down.    A number of these markers are broken, and others the inscriptions has just about faded out so you cannot make it out.    The family names found buried here are: Oglesby, Crockett, Ewing, McGavock, Bratton, Lawson, Harvey, Dalton, Snavely, Griend, Gilmer, Chinalt, Painter, Gregory, Reynolds, Hodge, Farrell, Quesenberry, and Smith.    Several of the older rocks found here are;

    The cemetery contains a number of the old rock that coves the graves, but on these older ones, the dates coould not be made out.    Mrs. Ester Thompson Crockett who later married a Sayers is supposed to be buried here but if her grave is marked, I could not find it.

    C73   NO NAME: Located on the north side of the road that goes east, east of Patterson, it is about 30 by 45 yards in size, and most of it is enclosed with a wire fence.    It is very badly grown up with briars and bramble; a comparatively few of the graves were marked with rock with inscriptions, and it is not an old cemetery.    The family names found here are: Hubbard, Solomon, Johnson, DeHart, DeGard, Puckett, Grimes, Graham, Payne, Crowder, Boyd, and Hurst.
    C74   COOLEY: Located on the south side of Sand Mountain, east of the pumping station that furnishes water to Wytheville, the graves are on the north side of the valley and just out of it.    They have rock picked up in that locality as the grave markers, and there are a number of graves here - 15 or more.    The place has not been enclosed; it has been abandoned and has grown over like the rest of the mountain, and could be easily walked over without noticeing it, even if you were looking for it.    Family name found here are: Cooleys, Stroups, Shells, etc.
    C75   WARDEN: [Cameron note] The number C75 was not on the map sketch, [I put it there] and I do not know where this cemetery is located.    It appears, from Mr. Brown's records, to be on Sand Mountain, near the pumping station.]    This is west of the above filling station on the hard surface road jst back of a house on the south.    The marker with inscription is: WARDEN
    C76   MONTGOMERY: Located east of the road from Fort Chiswell to Jackson's Ferry, and south of the McGavock Family Cemetery, this old family cemetery has been cleaned up and the rocks removed and the spot all but lost.   The D.A.R. remarked it with a large field rock and put on it a bronze tablet with the following inscription on it.    After all the names and dates, the inscription reads, "erected under the auspices of the Sturt Chapter D.A.R. 1938."

    D97   KIRK: Located about 1 1/2 miles north of Speedwell, it is well off of and in sight of either of the roads, and about 1/2 mile east of the old Ager place.    It is out in a large smooth reasonably level field; there are no trees or sunken graves or anything to show the exact location; it has been farmed over for a number of years, and was supposed to have been 7 or 8 adult graves, all of the Kirk family.    This and the Morgan/Trigg Cemetery was shown to me by a Mr. Smith, who was over 86 years old, and had lived in this community all of his life.
    D98   SHUPE: Located about 3 1/2 miles south of Speedwell on the Lakes To Florida Highway, it is up over the road on the west side and in a stone's throw of it, or just opposite where the road turns off to go to the old C.C. Camp.    The cemetery contains 10 or more graves, none of which are marked with rocks with inscriptions.    It looks like a very old cemetery and has not been used in a long time.    It is one you could easily go over and not know you were going over one, and is out in the brush like the rest of the mountain.
    D99   MORGAN/TRIGG: Located about 1 1/2 miles northwest of Speedwell on top of a high hill in sight of and almost north of the Speedwell Church, one of the best views to be had here from any family cemetery in the county.    All traces of the cemetery was removed 35 or more years ago; the place has been farmed over ever since, but 15 or 20 persons were supposed to have been buried here.    It is one of the oldest and best known family cemeteries in this section in it's time and it is here the cast iron markers in the Court House in Wytheville came from.    The inscription of it is:

  • D98---MORGAN, Mary King Trigg, Oct. 13, 1807, Sep. 17, 1808
    C100   HUDDLE: Located about 1/2 mile east of the R.E.L. Huddle home just across the road from the John Huddle home,a mile or two west of Porter's Crossroads, it is a new cemetery with just one grave in it.    It is about 20 yards square; has a good fence around it, and is in perfect condition.

  • C100--HUDDLE, William Sullins David, Sep. 5, 1874, Jul. 10, 1948
    C101   RED BLUFF: Located about a 1/2 mile north of Porter's Crossroads on the west side of the road and near a Colored Church, it is irregular shape containing 1/2 acre of ground or more, and must be used by the whole neighborhood.   I could not find out its age; it must be an old one still being used very much, but is very badly neglected and all grown up with Honeysuckle, Locust, and all kinds of brush.    Only a small percent of the graves are marked with rock with inscriptions on them.    The family names found here are: Warden, Wright, Sexton, Mabe, Aker, Puckett, Bralley, Dunford, Jones, Dalton, Hodge, Woods, Ratt?, Atkins, Porter, Williams, Arnold, Fisher, Parkin, Walk, Farmer, Welsorn?, Welborne, Barnette, and Wall.
    B102   SPENCE: Located 1/2 mile or more southwest of the old Joe Brown home in the Cove north of Wytheville, it is on the south side of the valley that comes down by the old Jesse Repass place, and on the east side and near one of the hollows that comes in the main valley from the south.    There is no way of telling how many graves there are as there are no markers of any kind there, and the place is all grown up with brush.    Mostly Spences are buried here but no one in a long time.

  • B102--SPENCE, Wiley J., Co. B, 45th VA Inf., C.S.A.
    B103   BYRD/NEESE: Located on top of a ridge on the west side of the hollow a short distance from and in sight of the Spence Cemetery listed just above at B102.    It contains no marked graves in any way; only one badly sunken one; is all grown up in brush, and would be hard to find if you did not know where to look for it.    It is small - could not be but a few graves and none of them for a long time.    Byrds and Neeses are buried here.
    D104   WISLEY: Located on the W. Brown Cassell farm west of Wytheville or a short distance south of the new West End Cemetery, it is northwest of the old Cassell home on a knoll in the edge of the woods.    It contains only a few graves - possibly 10 or 15; none are marked with rocks with inscriptions; but several graves are marked with rough limestone rocks.    It has a clump of Haws and several medium sized Oaks; no shrubbery, vines, or flowers of any kind; is not fenced, and is out in a large grazing boundary.    It would not be noticed as a cemetery in passing it if you did not have your attention called to it.    It has been a long long time since any one was buried there
    B105   BAKER: Located about 2 1/2 miles east of the Brick Church in Crockett's Cove, it is on the north side of the road in the woods and back from the main road 40 or 50 rods.    Around this place it is comparative smooth and level; the trees on this tract of land have been cut lately; two Oak trees 18 to 24 inches in diameter have been cut in the cemetery that look like they had grown since the graves were put there, and a large Locust and several small trees remain.    There were no cultivated shrubs or flowers of any kind except Myrtle - one of the thickest mats I ever saw, and was over the entire cemetery.   It is 30 or 35 yards square; contains a number of gaves; in one row there were 8 graves adjoining each other and all sunk about the same amount; had been no leveling up here in a long time, and only a few of the graves were marked with rough rocks, none with inscriptions on them.   What families besides Bakers buried here I could not find out, but it must have been used by several according to the number of graves.    I would say it is a very old cemetery; not been used for 60 or 75 years; looks as if nothing has been done on it all this time, but had been enclosed with a plank fence -remains of two panels are yet to be seen.    Negros are buried on one side of the cemetery and it appears that area was the latest used.    This was one of the hardest cemeteries to find that had not been cultivated over that I have looked for - Mr. Albert, who was over 80 years old and who lives east of there took me to it.
    B106   SAYERS: Located in Crockett's Cove just across the road from the old Crockett Cemetery and Rock House, the grave marker is the old horizontal type, limestone sides and end with a sandstone top.    It is one of the nicest of this type; in a good state of preservation, but the inscription is about gone and you cannot make it out.    From anothr source:

    C115   JACKSON ?: Located south of the old John Jackson home on a hill across the road and in sight of it, it is on the road that goes from Austinsville, to Poplar Camp.    It is about 25 by 45 yards in size; enclosed with a new wire fence which is well put up - the post painted and a good fence; contains one Cedar tree; no other shrubbery; but does contain some Iris.    There is none of the usual Honeysuckle or Myrtle, and no sunk or neglected graves.    In fact it has been taken care of perfectly and all the graves were marked with rocks with inscriptions with possibly two or three exceptions.    It has been enlarged recently and possibly one third had not yet been used.

    C118   BOOTH: Located about 3 miles northwest of Jackson's Ferry, on Route 52, it is north of the road, and a short distance from and in sight of the road.    It is nicely fenced with a wire fence and white posts; contains 10 Irish Junipers - no other planting of any kind; and is in perfect condition.    One of the nicest kept in the county, it contains only 2 graves, both with markers with inscriptions on them.

Raedel square.

Huddle home in the Ivanhoe section of the county, it is off of a road 1/2 or more of a mile and close and in sight of the old railroad that use to go through the neighborhood.    Up on the side of a hill back of the old Painter place; a large family cemetery and must be one of the oldest in the area, and no one has been buried here for over 60 or more years.    Only 3 graves are marked with rocks with inscriptions on them, and all 3 were nearly over 100 years old.    A large number of graves were in regular rows - 6 or 7 in a row marked with rough rocks, while a number of graves were not marked at all.    A number of bodies have been taken up the past few years by some of the descendants - some taken to Wytheville - some to the Umberger family Cemetery in that neighborhood and reburied, and the rocks with the inscriptions were taken with the bodies.

    As the old cemetery remains today, it has been abandoned and will soon be farmed over.    At present it has a small Cherry tree, Mock, Orange, Honeysuckle, a large number of Sumas, and a wilderness of Blackberry briars.    One of the hardest cemeteries to find, Ewings, one of the old families of this part of the country are supposed to be buried here.    Fifty or more bodies are supposed to have been removed from this cemetery.

    [Cameron note] Looks like Emily was a wife of Lee Nuckells according to Mr. Brown's notes, so must be an error in her stated age at death.]

    C131   MUNDY: Located on a hill northwest of Coleman's Store, it is 300 to 400 yards from the road but in sight of it.    It contained only one grave, I believe.
    B132   TRIGG: [Cameron note-- there is no number on the map for this cemetery because it is within the town of Wytheville.]    The following inscription was taken from a flat stone which is over the grave in the yard of Mr. Worley Umberger in north Wytheville.    It was in Mr. Feaganes marble yard when the inscription was copied by Mrs. Phillip Spence.    The inscription is; "Sacred to whose memory and in tenderness of their affection a wife and two children have erected this monument tablet." The inscription was for:
