This Davis Cemetery is halfway up on the left hand side. The Meade Cemtery is also on the left hand side above the Davis Cemetery and I know that Bob Meade owns this land, but I don't know about where the Davis Cemetery is. Then at the mouth of the holler on the right beside a house in their yard is another cemetery that looked newer and not very big, I don't know who is buried here nor the name of this cemetery. k -----Original Message----- From: Sherry Bell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, May 25, 2000 7:16 AM Subject: Re: [WVMINGO] Meade/Old Field Branch >I just got off the phone with my mother who was raised on Old Field Branch >and she remembers Bob Meade.
