Additional Comments:
The cemetery is in the middle of a cow pasture.   General Lee Scott was involved 
in an ambush at the Patrick-Henry County line which resulted in the death of 
legendary Patrick County bootlegger Euel Cox who died the day after Smith.   As 
Cox laid wounded, he mortally wounded Scott who was sitting in the front seat of 
a vehicle.
