Otey
Family Cemetery, Otey Rd NE, Sowers, Floyd Co., VA.
Cemetery is on Otey Rd NE just
before Saint Matthews Cemetery. It is extremely overgrown.
37.015755, -80.373144 using
Google Maps
Visited & photographed by Tracy
C. Oct 2014; revisited Sep 2021 by Jim Slusher & wife Lucy. Found “a walnut
tree, full of fruit, split and crashed into the cemetery. I could make out a
number of stones in the debris. I did see one stone that looks like it may
have been damaged when the tree fell. I’m going back when the leaves drop.”
Revisited by Tracy C. Mar 2025.
Photographed several markers that had not previously been found. And got
better photos of others. GREAT JOB TRACY!
