    1. [VALEE-L] Cemetery Location/Names
    2. Wayne Duncan
    3. Hello All: I made a "mad dash' trip to Lee, Wise and Scott counties over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I needed a dose of the Hills and Hollers that I left many years ago. Even though the weather was not conducive to taking pictures of the wonderful views, I did manage to get a few that I will be posting to my Hills and Hollers Website soon. While there I attempted to locate the burial sites for my (natural)grandparents on my maternal side. I am fortunate enough to have 3 great family lines to trace. (paternal, maternal, and stepmother's!) Anyway, I have been told that these gravesites are located in the very farthest eastern end of Lee County along US23, along the four mile section of highway between Wise and Scott counties. I have made three attempts to find the particular cemetery, to no avail. My uncles tell me it is on the left side of the highway (if you are headed south on US23) and that it is a really old cemetery. Supposed to be a "blue house" with a pool at the entrance. Also, there is a "children's school" on the hill just before the entrance. Try as I did, I saw no house and I'm not real sure of the location of the "children's school." I think the school may be a detention center or halfway house for juveniles but I am unsure. Is there anyone out there that can perhaps tell me the names of the cemteries along that stretch of US23? Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Wayne Duncan
