Hey Lucinda and Nancy, Thanks for a referral to my website and this cemetery is one I surveyed a couple of years ago. Over the last year, several of us in the Surry County Genealogical Association have been identifying cemeteries in Surry County. To date, we have over 230 of them and they include GPS location, directions on how to get there, name (if known including aliases), and other data. We haven't published the data yet, but are in the process of doing so sometime this fall. Unless plans change, we plan to publish the data on the web (including some photos) with free access and not publish a book. Hopefully, we'll be able to follow up later on with a survey of the occupants of each cemetery. As to Frost Snow (b. 8-29-1842, d. 5-14-1922) and Elizabeth Johnson (b.2-13-1847, d. 12-21-1910) are buried at Snow Hill Baptist Church which is just west of Dobson. Very peaceful country setting with an excellent view of the Blue Ridge mountains. The name of the church is from this line of SNOW which broke off from Union Cross Baptist Church many years ago. Can give you directions from Mt. Airy or Dobson if needed, or you can get driving directions from any location by using Google maps.
