Hi Mary! A friend of mine who lives in Evington found the notice in the Lynchburg Daily Advance as a legal notice. You may want to contact Boxley Rock Quarry for more information. I do not know who is in charge or the burials - possibly them since (I believe they now own the property - not positive). They may not know of the other graves! Please keep me posted.

Go to http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/homepage_general/OLD_faq_cem_%20presv.htm and see what all is involved. If they put in a public notice in the paper it sounds like they are doing this correctly, but somebody should check and BE THERE. "Someone else now owns the land where my ancestors are buried. What are my rights regarding that cemetery? Unless the deed of sale for the property specifies certain conditions of the sale, then most rights go to the new property owner. Virginia law requires a property owner to make a reasonable good-faith effort to notify descendants of people buried in an abandoned family cemetery when seeking a court order to remove the graves. " "What are the legal means for removing and relocating human remains from cemeteries and burial places? In the Commonwealth of Virginia, human remains can be legally removed from a cemetery or burial place and relocated by obtaining a court order or through a permit procedure administered by the Department of Historic Resources." "Who is responsible for getting the court order or permit? Removing a burial or cemetery is ultimately the responsibility of the person(s) or agency that owns the land and proposes to use the land in a different way. For example, if a developer buys farmland containing a cemetery and wishes to build on the cemetery plot, that person will be responsible for getting the appropriate authorizations, contracting for either a funeral director or archaeologist to conduct the removal, and paying for it. If a homeowner finds burials while building an addition or digging in a garden, then the homeowner is responsible for getting permissions, etc. The costs of removing of human burials are the responsibility of the person or entity requesting the action." "What are "archaeological permits" for removing human burials? Permits for the removal of human burials are required of any person or entity that conducts any type of archaeological removal of human remains, including archaeological investigations conducted as part of a court-approved removal of a cemetery. Persons or entities requesting such removal of human burials from a historic cemetery must obtain a permit for the archaeological removal of human burials.
