Thank You Virginia L Harris & Linda Buchanan relatives of James & Polly Woody Hughes. If you go to this cemetery be careful the road is in bad shape. My mother's father built a house that is at the top of the mountain but we couldn't get to it because of the road condition. House is still standing from what we been told. Grave yard in good shape. ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
