I'll have to try to improve it. ANyhow, Beards Cemetery is in Deview, you'll see the name below the "Woodman of the World" cemetery on the lower left. And it's pretty well kept although abused over the years, but not so badly neglected like some. My great grandfather Bronte is buried there, unmarked grave. I'm trying to remember where Tipp is - near Deview? Deview, oddly enough, is a thriving little village of houses. It was, of course, a thriving community in the days before the railroad came thru and McCrory boomed in the later part of the 19th century. Gloria
