Also...on Ida Dean Derrow's death certificate (filed 13 Aug. 1917), place of burial is listed as "Derrow Cemetery" (photocopy in hand). -----Original Message----- From: Bill Derrow [mailto:lwderrow@comcast.net] Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 12:49 PM To: 'varockin@rootsweb.com' Subject: RE: [VAROCKIN] Rockingham County VAGenWeb site updates Hello, Does anyone know if the cemetery known as "Cavetown Community Cemetery" in the HRHS listing was always called that? I believe this cemetery was once on property owned by my ggg grandfather, Peter Derrow (based on a review of the burnt deed records associated with Peter Derrow). I referred to it as the "Derrow Cemetery" in my 1989 article for lack of another name. Three of the people listed as being buried there (with visible stones) are Derrows. Druzilla (Drucilla) Lamon (Laman/Lemon/Laymon/Layman) was Peter's daughter (and wife of Joseph H. Layman), as was Milta Strickler. Ida was married to Jacob Derrow, Peter's grandson, son of Peachy Derrow and Elizabeth Baker (my gg grandparents). Jacob is buried in Mtn. Valley Church Cemetery. I don't know what the association/relationship is between the Derrows and Higgses (if any). I don't know of any marriages, but I may have missed them along the way. Elizabeth and Elijah Higgs are listed with the following next to their names: "Wooden slab marker-no markings; they are known to have been buried in Mt. Valley Cemetery." If they were buried in Mt. Valley, why would the wooden slab markers cite their names as if they are buried in the Cavetown Community Cemetery? Curious. Thanks to all who have contributed to the HRHS Cemetery Project.

To all listers- Below you will find a query that I sent to the Shenandoah County list. As of this time, I have received no response and thought maybe someone on these lists would possibly know something. As far as I know, this property is in Shenandoah County but the way the county lines are it could be somewhere else. I would appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Thanks in advance.

I am looking for the location of the old Abram Kagey farm. In an obit for John R. Shaffer it stated that he was born in the house on the Kagey farm. His DOB is 19 Sep 1844 DOD is 24 Mar 1913. He was the son of Daniel P. and Nancy Sarah Kelly Shaver/Shaffer. I also need some information on a house that was across the road from Isaac P. and Rebecca Shaver Kagey (John R.'s sister). The house apparently belonged to part of the Shaffer family and was torn down in the early 1950's.Names of the family/families would be very helpful. Apparently there is also a woman in the area whose Shaffer relations at one time lived in Isaac and Rebecca's house.( I assume that the Kagey's were not in the house at the time.) If that lady happens to be a subscriber to the list I would appreciate it if she would contact me.  I believe the Isaac Kagey house was on Smith Creek Road. Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated. I am also still looking for Daniel's parents and siblings with no luck so far. Thanks again for your help- Sharon Domer
