Carroll County, Virginia, Cemeteries: MIDWAY BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Buford C.

The original church was built in 1909. All the records were lost when the church burned in 1936. A new church was built on the site in 1954 and in recent years a new church has been built beside the old one. By tradition, the cemetery was neglected for a number of years. Later it was cleared of briars and undergrowth and sown in grass. Unfortunately some well-meaning people removed all the fieldstone grave markers. There is an undetermined number of unmarked graves. The newest marker in the cemetery is 61 years old. It appears there is room for more burials, but in fact the cemetery has no more space. Many of the unmarked graves are family members of workers who came to this area to work in a nearby iron mine. Most of them moved on, leaving nothing behind but their sweat in the mine, and their loved ones in the cemetery. The cemetery is presently being expanded. It is well fenced and maintained.
