My 4-great grandfather Christian HOUSMAN deeded the land (or at least some of the land) for Brick Union, from what I understand. He and his wife Eve, plus some other HOUSMANs and relatives are probably buried there. I'd really like to see it cleaned up, as it is, in a sense, part of my heritage. Unfortunately, I live a couple thousand miles away from Botetourt County, so I can't get involved in any clean-up effort, other than to possibly donate money to a civic group or similar. --jsl -----Original Message----- From: Sylmalone@aol.com <Sylmalone@aol.com> To: VABOTETO-L@rootsweb.com <VABOTETO-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, December 7, 1998 3:04 PM Subject: Brick Union Cem >I had a chance to visit Fincastle Historical Society this summer and found the >people there very helpful, especially Mrs. Honts.
