    1. Re: [VAAMHERS] Family Cemetery in Riverville - any suggestions?
    2. Lori: We have conversed before,I am a decendant of Charles W.Worley,and I believe your line was Peter Worley,his brother. However here goes on Richard R.Worley,and your search for graveyards in Amherst County,Virginia around Rivervile,I have been able to locate two(2)sites near Rivervile,but none in the small town, One is located about six(6)miles east of Amherst,Va.on U.S.Route 60,turn turn right off of Rt.60 onto State Route 624 past Morriss-Watts Cemetery here are the names that have headstones;Lillie W.Williams 1906-1955,James M.Worley 1887-1952,Robert C.Worley 1906-1969,Willie J.Worley 1880-1967,Markers without names 1913;1920;1922. Another Worley Graveyard is located in the same general area about four(4)miles east of Amherst,Virginia on State Route 603 and is about 200 yards to the graveyard.Worleys listed as buried there are:Annie Mae Worley May 13,1913-April 15,1959,Tommie Worley June 10,1904-Nov.25,1971,there is also a Charles B.Hayslett buried there dated on his marker were October 27,1954-January 4,1956. There are several Worleys buried in the Cemetery located at Mineral Springs Baptist Church,which is located on U.S.Route 60 about 8-9 miles east of the Town of Amherst,Virginia on State Route 626 2-3 miles over the Amherst-Nelson County line.You would turn left off of Rt.60 onto 626,and a brick country church would be on your right,with five(5) unmarked graves. The following Worley's are buried there;Arthur E.Worley,October 18,1925-January 18,1982;Charley Watts Worley,1912-1984,Edward A.Worley January 23,1872-June 8,1957,Fannie Lottie Worley 1912-1984,Hubert Worley August 8,1939-December 12,1980,J.Dewey Worley June27,1899-July 16,1965,Mable Jones Worley February 26,1900-August 28,1966. These are the only ones I could locate at this time,but if I run across any more I will let you know,and when I am in Lynchburg,Va.I will go by the newspaper office and get a copy of Richard R.Worley's obituary. For conformation these cemetaries and names are located in Gravestone Inscriptions In Amherst County,Virginia by the Amherst County Museum,and Historical Society. One last question what kin is Richard R.to you I have not run across him in any of my searches. Hope this helps, Best Wishes Ron Worley,Roanoke,Virginia [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])
