A big thank you goes out from all of us who live far from Tazewell Co for the work that Darrell Lowe, Jean Hankins, the property owners, and others are doing to save this historic cemetery. Jean recently sent me a newspaper update about the work, which said that $525 in donations have come in to buy the materials needed. If you haven't sent a donation, and you care about preserving the past, then I urge you to send Jean a check. It doesn't matter whether your check is large or small, or if you're related to these families or not! (And if you live close enough to help with the work, I'm sure Darrell could use a hand!) Donations can be made out to Jean Hankins and mailed to: Jean Hankins 253 Bailey Road Cedar Bluff, VA 24609 Sandra Kidd descendant of Tazewell Co early settlers William Kidd, William McFarland, and Thomas Neel, all of Wolf Creek > Subject: > Whitt-Lowe Cemetery update > From: > "Darrell Lowe" <bigd4vt@adelphia.net> > Date: > Sat, 16 Apr 2005 23:57:31 -0400 > > To: > VATAZEWE-L@rootsweb.com > > >We have spent the better part of two months clearing brush and cutting trees from the cemetery. All that remains are a few more trees, some fill dirt for the sunken graves, and a brand new fence. It would also be nice to put up crosses or something for the many unmarked graves we have found. After that it's just a matter of mowing regularly. > >______________________________ > >
