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.
