hahahaha - original message that started all this said Oakwood Cemetery was on 460 between Bedford and Lynchburg. Looking at map I saw nothing that even resembled what she was asking - so I tried Lynchburg proper. I have come to the conclusion that the only one that may resolve the question is a funeral home that was in business back as far as the last message I sent. For sure they know where cemeteries are!
