DICKENSON COUNTY, VA - CEMETERIES - William Sutherland Cemetery ----¤¤¤---- LATITUDE/LONGITUDE 370642N 0821322W (Per USGS Quad Map: DUTY, VA) DIRECTIONS >From the main road (Route 600) of Tiny, VA (South of Birchleaf) cross Fryingpan Creek and travel the dirt road that parallels route 600 for about 1/2 mile. This road then works its way up the hollow east towards Priest Fork. After several switchbacks and just passing an open area where the power lines are prominant, the Sutherland Cemetery appears on the right. FIELD NOTES: 11/23/98 This hillside cemetery is gated and windswept. The lawn is fairly manicured and the brush kept at bay. Started in the NE corner. FORMAT Note: Items in parenthesis are the best guess of the researcher. Items in brackets are my comments. A double stone is two people on one stone - usually husband and wife unless otherwise indicated. "Similar stone" indicates that the stones were of similar design perhaps helping to identify wives and husbands.

If you have information on any of the people here, please feel free to e-mail me at zens@mindspring.com. Thank you. PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE Some photographs were taken of the stones under the best light and angle possible, but it is almost always true that more information can be discerned from being there, especially because the pictures are stored in the 'lossy' compressed format of .JPG. Send your request to me at zens@mindspring.com, and give me 2 days to figure out which zip disk they’re on or if i’ve even taken those pictures. There is no charge, just trying to help. ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
