Boyd - Shortt Cemetery, Countyline Church Rd SE, Little River District, Floyd Co., VA.

Aka Old Boyd Cemetery

Old County Line Church Cemetery

Located on property just before 887 County Line Church Rd. The cemetery is very narrow, but deep and easy to miss, very close to the intersection with Runnett Bag Rd where County Line Church Rd makes a 90° turn to the right. It is being maintained by family members. Though the cemetery is cleared of undergrowth it is not visible with Google Earth as of November, 2019.

2021 Location visited by Jim & Lucy Slusher Apr 2021 with no changes or added internments.
