Feather Cemetery - Montgomery Co. VA This cemetery is on the same farmland as the Feather Rock House. I had paid a visit to that area, and took pictures of the Cemetary in 1989. I was given notes from a Feather Family Bible from Ella Simpkins, of Christainsburg, Virginia. She was my Grandmother's first cousin. These are the graves of persons that I can remember which are buried there. We were taken up there by my third cousin, Paul Fred Feather (11/10/1909-9/1996), who lived in a trailer next to the Feather Rock House. Joseph D.
