Yes, that is a possiblity and I'll look at that. Usually I cannot check out names in the cemetery - no time - but as there were no dates, or companion stones, I just thought to give it a try. Thank you. And oh boy!, Jack, I'm going to toss out another name and get some wonderful stories/history. Who needs an encyclopedia with you on board?!

Whorley is the preferred way of spelling this name, but I tried various spellings and no luck. Maybe it doesn't really matter, but there were no dates at all, nor any other engravings on the stone and I just thought I'd like a hint as to who and when. Thank you.

There were no dates, and I've not found him in a census. The top part with "Worley" was broken and lying on the ground and the engraving was poorly done. Just wondering if anybody knows who this is? The other grave - also broken - was Walter Holt 11 Jan 1840 - 27 Apr 1889, if those dates might help. There were other graves, but no stones left. Thank you for any help.

Genevieve and all, Water Holt was a s/o Smithen & Olivia (Richards) Holt. He was 1st married to Ellen H. Mitchell & 2nd to July Catherine Brown. Julia Holt, 52 yo, is noted in 1890 Floyd Co., VA census. Love the reunion pictures! Wish I could have been there!
