Peter R. Vest Cemetery – across road from 536 Wild Cherry Road NE, Floyd Co., VA.

Jul 2021 location update by Tracy C. – across road from 536 Wild Cherry Road NE – about 500 feet into the woods. You can’t drive to this cemetery, probably can’t see it from Google Earth. Park on the road & walk in. It is quite overgrown & she did not find some of the original memorials so will revisit it the winter & check again. She did find 3 new memorials to add. Update: Tracy revisited this cemetery Dec 2021 when the vegetation was down & did not find any other memorials.
