Here in Ohio, only the very new and modern cemeteries do not have cedar trees. I would guess the practice probably followed the many Virginians who moved "over the mountain" and settled here. Sally T. Baughn SallyBaughn@aol.com

Out here in the boonies of Missouri and Arkansas, also. Large cedar trees in a grove or group, often in a field, frequently, are the mark of an old cemetery in the county, particularly when it has been abandoned for many years and there are no buildngs or other landmarks close by. ----- Original Message ----- From: <SallyBaughn@aol.com> To: <VA-SOUTHSIDE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 1:32 PM Subject: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Re: Cedar trees in Cemeteries in Patrick Co., Va > Here in Ohio, only the very new and modern cemeteries do not have cedar > trees.
