Notes
|
The
cemetery is overgrown and there are very few stones remaining.
Notes in "Remarks" column were provided by Robert Crawford.
Robert Crawford on 27 March 2002 wrote: "The land containing this
cemetery was once know as the Kirby woodland pasture tract and was
conveyed to S. M. Good who sold some land to Phillip Alger. On October
15, 1892, Phillip Alger sold a plot of land to my great grandparents,
William K. and Rebecca Shiflet Crawford. On February 24, 1896, my great
grandparents sold a plot to Luella Viands and December 28, 1898,
another plot was sold to Clinton M. Viands. The cemetery was located on
the Viands property. Some land was later sold by one of the
Viands to Mr. Cubbage who built the Bibleway Church of God about 25
years ago. All the burials in the Viands Cemetery were completed about
60 years before the church was built. There are some newer graves in
the lawn of the church next to the Viands cemetery. This may be the
church cemetery (Bibleway Church Cemetery).
One of the owners of the property removed all the fieldstones from the
Viands cemetery." Note: The removed fieldstones are
recorded on the cemetery list. |
