Perhaps some remains of people who died prior to 1935 were moved to the cemetery. Most other cemeteries in the area are private family plots. Have you checked the Russell VA GenWeb site? It has many recorded cemeteries on line, as well as a list of lookup volunteers which I think includes a book on Russell Co cemeteries.
