Joy, I read your post on the Amherst Board today and it brought back a flood of memories. When I was a child my family lived a few miles from the Smiths and they were good friends of my grandparents. The Smiths lived on route 29 just west of Monroe and we lived on Winesap Rd. just west of the Winesap railroad crossing out of Monroe. The Smiths went to the Methodist Church and my family attended the Baptist Church. Some of the Smith children were close to the age of my parents and they had children close in age to me and my brothers. We visited Maggie often and they had a really cool house, a white Dutch colonial (still standing) with an enclosed front porch on one half of the front. We lived in a large white mansion house with four white columns. We often had law socials and all of the neighbors and church folk would attend. I checked the Amherst cemetery book and did not find a burial for either Harry or Maggie so they could have been buried in Lynchburg. The Jones Memorial Library in Lybg. has a computerized list of deaths and burials and may be able to give you some additional info. I don't plan to go back to Va. until next summer so if I can help then let me know. I also forwarded you e-mail to my brother to see what he remembers. I know some other people who's parents worked with Harry on the railroad and maybe they can shed some light on these folks. Best regards, Becky

You can purchase a book from the Amherst Museum or Library called "Gravestone Inscriptions of Amherst County". They have listed a good deal of the cemeteries in Amherst as well as the Amherst Cemetery. A lot are not complete, for they are always finding more, but it is a good book. Tina I have it and will look up anything for you that is in it. > > From: [email protected] > Date: 2006/11/26 Sun PM 08:28:21 EST > To: [email protected] > Subject: [VAAMHERS] Amherst Cemetary > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BAC.2ACE/2790 > > Message Board Post: > > Can anyone tell me how to obtain a listing of those buried in Amherst Cemetary?

I believe they might be of the children of Joseph and Lucy Smith who were married and lived in Nelson Co, and after Joseph's death in the Civil War, Lucy moved to Amherst Co. The sons were John Nelson Smith, Garrett Elisha, and William Henan. I don't think one of the pictures is of their daughters, but their daughters were Sallie Mildred, Mollie, and Julia Ann. If anyone is of this particular line, I will send the pictures to you in hopes of identifying the people in the pictures.

Virginia State Law § 57-27.1 amended. Access to private or family cemeteries. Allows members of a deceased's family, cemetery plot owners, or persons engaged in genealogy research to enter upon the land of a private or family cemetery where such deceased is interred after notice to the property owner. The bill grants certain rights to the property owner to set frequency and duration of access. The bill also limits a property owner's liability for any claim that may arise out of the access except willful conduct or gross negligence.
