Nelson County Virginia USGenWeb Archives Cemeteries.....Davis Cemetery at Shipman ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/va/vafiles.htm ************************************************ Cemetery: DAVIS CEMETERY at Shipman, Nelson County, Virginia Location: From Court House: Turn left onto Court ST. Right onto Main St and left onto Front ST. Go .3 miles and turn left onto James River Rd.(Rte 56 East). Go 3.4 miles, turn left onto High Peak Lane. Entrance to cemetery is .1 miles on left. No sign. Contributor: Rosemarie McGowan Roberts. I walked the cemetery on October 1,2007 using the original compilation by Jean and Julian Hesson 10-02-1994 and submitted by Vince E. Summers vsummers@NRAO.EDU. Typographical errors have been corrected from that list but errors can happen on what I have transcribed. I frequently read the obituaries online from Nelson County and will add any burials in Davis Cemetery as I find them. I have also photographed all the stones and a few views of the cemetery. Hopefully I will get that on line. Any questions or corrections my email is berniero@comcast.net. Please use Davis Cemetery in subject line. Thank you. Rosemarie Roberts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLEN, John E. Father 1865 1949 Nannie M.

Lucillie is correctly transcribed as on headstone. Rosemarie Roberts *** Clarence was the infant son of Charles and Eva Spencer, my husband's family. No permanent stone was ever placed on the grave. We were told by Eva Spencer,his mother, that he was buried in one of the fenced areas in 1921 during a flu epidemic. Actual cause of death unknown but was probably pneumonia. -----Those names that are underlined were on the original list but I didn't find those tombstones but there are 9 unmarked metal crosses, 4 unmarked stones and 4 that I couldn't read.
