There are many unmarked gravesites in Cemeteries in Craig County.

A goal of the Craig County Virginia Historical Society is to identify where our Confederate Soldiers are intered.

If you have a great grandfather who served in the Confederate Army,is intered in Craig County, and does not have a grave marker, please e-mail me at:Rena or Steve , giving us the Name, date of birth, date of death, and Company in which he served, Name of Cemetery and directions.If avaliable please send a copy of the obit.
