This cemetery is located in the forest off Heidelbach School 
Road in Patrick County, VA. The GPS coordinates are 
36.831500, -80.1403000.  This cemetery is not easy to get to 
as it is accessible only by foot or four wheeler as it is 
deep in the forest on top of a mountain. It is approximately 
.92 miles the from Heidelbach School Road. It is about .36 
miles from the American Electric Power line that runs 
through the area. O.E. Pilson's book describes this cemetery 
as "Located near the site of the old Via School, on the Poor 
Mountain Ridge, not far from Philpott Lake." According to 
Pilson, when he surveyed this cemetery on 10 June 1977, in 
addition to the Sarah Martin grave there were 6 other graves 
"with crude stones, no inscriptions." Since that time, a 
family member has actually placed stones in the cemetery. It 
is visited quite often and is fairly clean taking into 
consideration that some of the graves date back to 1825.
