    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5BC.2ACI/1538.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: The cemetary behind the Wood's house has the graves of John Lawson and Eva Harnist, who are my gggg grandparents, and their descendants who married Shiffletts. There are a lot of graves in the woods, across the creek from a huge old barn that sits by itself. It is my understanding that people were brought to this one area in particular from over Simmons Gap and the Rocky Bar area. Some of the tombstones are as recent as 1926. It is not tended, and some of the headstones are almost completely covered over with brush. I think in order to find it, you would need someone who lives in Beldor Hollow or knows the area to take you to it. There is also a cemetary up the hill behind the last house on the left at the end of the hollow. I believe it is also a family cemetary, but i don't have any names for it. It is believed the home once belonged to George Herring.
