White Oak Grove Cemetery, White Oak Grove Rd NE, Alum Ridge District, Floyd Co., VA.

The sign says that the name of the cemetery is "White Oak Grove Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery". It is located next to the church building on route 617, White Oak Grove Road, about nine miles north of Floyd. The cemetery is completely fenced-in and appears to be well maintained.
Another sign indicates that the current name of the church is "Blessed Hope Baptist Church".

According to published information the 1/2 acre cemetery dates back to about 1855. It might be possible that the location was used for burials before it became part of an organized church. One grave, Nancy Booth, appears to date to 1842. The church land was part of a 1700 acre grant to Robert King in 1794. The church land was deeded to the Ironside Baptist church trustees in 1856. From the dates observed on many of the stone memorials, the cemetery accepted burials well into the 1900's and may now be full except for a plot space here and there.

Alexandria Gazette, Alexandria, Virginia · Friday, November 01, 1907

 

Christiansburg, Va, Nov 2. - A coroner's jury yesterday investigated the mysterious death Sunday at Sowers, Va, of Merritt Underwood, whose wife is held under suspicion of implication with Chas Bennett, of West Virginia, whom she married Wednesday, of murdering him. Owing to the lack of telephone communication with Sowers today, the verdict of the jury is not known. Physicians stated that the symptoms shown by Underwood in his illness indicated poisoning.

At the request of Commonwealth's Attorney Sinnars, the county board of health has ordered that Underwood's body be disinterred and an autopsy made. If poison is discovered, preparations have been made to call a special grand jury in order that the case may be tried at once.

Underwood for the last two years was employed at Welch, W Va. He arrived here October 20 suffering from an illness, which his physician was unable to diagnose. He was accompanied by his wife, formerly Miss Mosby, of Argabright, of Floyd, and a friend of Charles Bennett, of Welch. All three went to the home of Noah Underwood, young Underwood's father, near Sowers, Va. Drs Williams and Dalton were called in, but could do nothing to relieve Underwood, who died Sunday.

Mrs Underwood, who is only about 18 years old, and Bennett, who is about 25, left Wednesday morning for Floyd courthouse to be married. The woman's father, who protested in vain against the proposed marriage, followed them, and at his request Justice Agnew, in order to prevent the wedding, issued an warrant charging Mrs Underwood with lunacy. At the hearing the charge could not be sustained and she was discharged. The marriage followed Wednesday.

Friends of the dead man soon afterward lodged complaint with the county authorities, and Mrs Bennett was taken into custody. Bennett, however, alarmed at the feeling which had been aroused, fled before he could be arrested.

Both families involved are among some of the best known in Floyd county.

Floyd, Va, December 7. - The coroner's jury rendered a verdict today that J Merritt Underwood came to his death by means unknown to them.

Bennett, who had been held on a charge of murder, was discharged from custody by the Justice who issued the warrant, the report of the State chemist showing that no poison was found in the stomach of Underwood.

1. No. 95, Luanna Booth. Should be 'wife of William C. Booth'. Luanna's
maiden name was Sowers, and married William C. Booth on 12 March 1835 in
Floyd Co., VA. [Floyd Marriages]

2. No. 96, William C. Booth. 12 Dec 1856 is his date of death, not birth.
Given his age at death, his birthdate would be calculated as 6 Feb 1814.
William C. Booth was the son of Daniel and Sarah (McAlexander) Booth.

3. No. 97, Isaac Booth. His date of death should read 3 May 1855, not birth
on 3 May 1858. His death is recorded in Montgomery Co. in 1855 and notes:
"from injuries in fall from buggy at Pilot Mtn, ae 69". I also have his
probate papers which are dated 7 May 1855. On old stones, 5 and 8 are easily
confused in reading. Isaac was born in Dutchess Co., NY, and came as a boy
with his parents Isaac (Sr) and Freelove Booth to Montgomery Co. Isaac (Sr)
was the son of George Booth (1737-1813), pioneer settler in Montgomery and
Floyd Cos, and ancestor of most of the Booths in these counties (George was
father of Daniel, who was father of William C. Booth, above)

4. No. 98, Nancy Booth. She was born Nancy McAlexander, and was the first
wife of Isaac Booth, married 3 May 1807 in Patrick Co, VA. Isaac remarried
to Docia Radford in Franklin Co, VA in 1843.
