Hello Everyone, I was in Southwest Virginia this past weekend for a family wedding and stopped at Green Hills Memory Gardens where my dad is buried and saw the Claypool Cemetery next door and went over to it and noticed that there were several headstones but none with the name of Claypool. I will be going back there in a few months if anyone would like for me to check it for them for anyone they are looking for that might be buried there.
