Will and Margaret Farmer with son Woody at their homplace. They lived around the ridge from my Grandpa Rufus Owens and were neighbors. Their daughter Pearl married my second cousin, Walter Garfield Owens. We are no blood kin, but I can remember them so well.
WILL FARMER CEMETERY DUTY VA
DRIECTIONS
Route 80 at Bee VA, turn on to Indian Creek going toward Duty Va. Come to what some call the pine thicket, turn right toward Clinchfield Mines. Make another right within 150 yards. Cross a bridge, this leads to mountain road. Stay on dirt road to Day Field, take left turn at forks, this will lead you to Will Farmer Cemetery. Cemetery located on left of road, you can go no further. A good place to turn, and road is not bad. The Cemetery is not very well kept, needs weeds cut, but you can make out all graves. It has a fence, needs some repair.
NOTES
Items I have added will be in parenthesis ( ) and brackets [ ] will indicate my comment. As best as I could document there was a total of 8 graves, only 1 not marked.
