No Name
Archie and I visited this old cemetery in the spring of 1995. It
is across the road on a hill from the New Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren
on state road 730 in Floyd County, Va. There is not much left of this old
cemetery, it is sad to see what a condition some cemeteries are in. This is
what we found left of cemetery that we could read. Archie Sr., and Phyllis M.
