Researching Mary Elizabeth HUDDLESTON born May 1879 in Buckingham Co VA. Married to Robert A CATLETT about June 1898, possibly also in Buckingham Co VA. This family shows up in Oswald, Raleigh Co by 1920, and are residents in Price Hill by 1930. Mary and Robert may have had as many as 13 children. Death Certificate for Robert CATLETT January 1953 states father's name as Russell and mother's name as Georgie. Believe this to be incorrect information. Also according to d/c Robert is buried in a cemetery in Price Hill as residence in years 1940's & 1950's was around the Bradley area. (I am not that familiar with this area) Mary Elizabeth Huddleston CATLETT died in February 1965. She too is buried in cemetery in Price Hill, this according to copy of obituary hanging on a dresser mirror in Michigan. I have not seen it yet!! There were names of several siblings, most of their addresses were in Virginia. I'm attempting to put together a bit of family history for remaining relative/aunt, married name CATLETT. Information found at ancestry leads these families back to Buckingham Co VA., however as alot of dates of death of listed individuals is incorrect, don't consider information reliable to my research. Anyone that may have distant relative(s) of these surnames? If so, will share what little compilation of info I do have. Any new avenues that I can be directed will be most appreciated. Thank you Debbie in Missouri btree@fidnet.com Other families of Raleigh co include ROSENBAUM Families of Fayette Co include SWIFT, NUCKOLS, BROWN & HUGHES

there are several in my area of Pax/Longbranch that are in need - but that's in Fayette county - since land for a cemetery was deeded from the owner - doesn't someone in the county have to take care of it?

from the Raleigh-Register Published: February 19, 2006 10:32 pm Mount Hope Cemetery in Disrepair Genealogy buff hopes to persuade someone to help straighten up graveyard by Matthew Hill, Register-Herald Reporter Shirley Taylor despairs over the disrepair that has befallen the MacDonald Cemetery. While the sacred site on Main Street in Mount Hope provides visitors with a view of Mount Hope High School, she fears that educators, students and passers-by are getting an education in the message that disrespect for the dead is inconsequential. “I just think it’s a disgrace that it has been allowed to grow up that way. It’s not respectful,” the 69-year-old Monroe County woman lamented. “I have a couple of aunts who have tried to get in because their grandparents are there. They can’t get in. The only way my relatives were able to get in there one weekend was by taking brush-cutters with them.” Taylor bemoans the briars, brush and trees that have claimed the resting place as their new home. Of equal concern to her are the graves that appear to be sinking into the earth. According to what her father relayed to her, a rock wall had to be built at one time to undergird the cemetery because the unearthing of the area exposed some caskets. This time around, the simple and slowly destructive forces of nature are the culprits. “Some of the neighbors who lived out there moved away, but they kept telling me they clean it every spring,” said Taylor, who claims she has checked on the cemetery regularly for 20 years. “I go there every spring and fall, and it has been that way for years. It’s never been cleaned. The way it is now, you would never know that a cemetery has been there.” Aside from the fact that her great-grandfather — an immigrant from Wales — was buried there in 1903, Taylor tells of several military veterans, including a Civil War soldier, who found their perpetual repose in the cemetery. “It’s a pretty good-size cemetery of probably 3 to 5 acres. I would say that there are over 100 people buried there.” The genealogy buff hopes to persuade someone — anyone — to share her passion for straightening up the old graveyard by clearing out the overgrowth and filling in the sunken graves. “A lot of the trees in there need cleared out. A lumber company could use the trees for lumber,” she said. “Someone has tried to fix a way to get in there by putting in blocks, but weather has washed them under. Some way needs fixed to get in there.”

Hi Sherry: Thanks for the nice words about the Tabor article. And thank you for the additional information. In order to protect people's privacy, we are not including information about living people in The Raleigh County Families. The cut off for including families is the 1930 census. So, the families would need to be in Raleigh County prior to 1930. We've made an exception about including living people. If the person is the only living member of the family and is quite old, we'll include them if a close family member submits the information. I will be happy to include the information on your mother. I will include information on anyone mentioned in your email that is deceased, if you will tell me who they are. I believe that Thomas Henderson was in the 1860 Raleigh County census. I do not have any personal knowledge of him or his descendants. Hugh Davis was in the very first Raleigh County census, which was taken in 1850. I do not have any personal information on him or his descendants. So, I would need a lot of help writing an article on each of those men and their families. Do I hear anyone volunteering to help?
