    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GBC.2ACE/1542.1 Message Board Post: Hopefully someone will give you the exact location of Tool Cemetery, but the following may help a little. Looking at the map of the cemetery locations in "High on a Wind Hill," (Volume 1), page XIII, Mrs. McConnell the author, has a "dot" for the location of Tool Cemetery as being on the east side of Route 692 close to and just south of Route 692's intersection with Route 765. Route 611 is across the North Fork of the Holston River just north of the 692/765 intersection. Route 765 runs along the edge of the flat area on the south side of the North Fork of the Holston River. Go to: http://topozone.com/map.asp?lat=36.797&lon=-81.99639 and click on "Large" & "Update Map" to view and/or copy a topographic map of the general location of the cemetery. As this is a very small cemetery and it is not shown on the Hayters Gap Topographic map, it is probably on private property. If you are able to go to Washington County, one suggestion might be to stop at a farm or residence in the vicinity and ask the occupants. There is a tiny square on the topographic map near the intersection of 692 & 765 and in the general area where the cemetery might be located, that might be a residence. Bob Ford
