Va Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Washington/10210 Surname: Fortner, Moore, Barker, Burke, Chiles, Pegram, Wheatley ------------------------- I visited yesterday the Fortner Cemetary which is located between Lebanon and Abingdon, near Hansonville. The address is listed as Rt 3 Lebanon. One grave in particular I was looking for was Lucy Fortner Moore - which I found. Unfortunately we could not read the inscription on the headstone. It looked to be some sort of poem or verse. I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not this cemetary had been researched and the tombstones transcribed. I know sometimes local historical groups do this. I would love to have this information for my family tree. Lucy Fortner Moore was the wife of William Franklin Moore and she died in 1903 after contracting pneumonia after taking her daughters to her mother's house to save them from drowning in a flood. THe cemetary is still located on the Fortner Family property. Thanks for any help you could give me.
