Find A Grave Name: FAG
has the memorials found in 2004 & 2012 in 3 different named & located
cemeteries. It would seem to this compiler the 1st & 3rd
are the same cemetery, but this supposition is not confirmed as of Mar 2025.
the 1st: George W. Radford Cemetery, down Barton
Spur Rd, Floyd, Floyd Co., VA. Also known as Kanie Radford Cemetery, because
it was on his land
(Memorials: Elizabeth Frances “Frankie” Radford; Samuel Dewey Pate & George W. & Elizabeth (Guilliams) Radford with
headstone photos below).
the 2nd: Pate Cemetery, Boones Mill,
Franklin Co., VA. (has coordinates but they just take you to Boones Mill)
the 3rd: Pate/Miles Cemetery
aka Old Pate Cemetery, Rt 888 near Barton Spur Rd. at Franklin/Floyd County
line.
