The old Whitt/Lowe Cemetery in Tazewell County Virginia is badly in need of having a fence built around it and needs cleaned up. The thorn bushes need removed. We have discussed creating a fund to help maintain the cemetery and Jean Hankins has agreed to administer the fund for the maintenance of the cemetery. She lives near the cemetery. Ron Hutchison is going to work on the cemetery this weekend to get the fence back up enough to keep the livestock out until something more permanent can be done. If anyone is close enough to help him please contact him at hutchisonron@yahoo.com Ron needs money to buy post and wire. He will need to hire labor to help with getting the holes dug for the post and to clear out the wild roses so he can work on the fence. Please send contributions to: Jean Hankins 253 Bailey Road Cedar Bluff, VA 24609 Traci Crawford sent the following list of known people buried in the cemetery. For those of you who aren't aware of who is buried there these are the names on the stones as listed on the Tazewell Genweb site and my notes. Just to help put names to the stones...
