Wm. Warner Miller, Washington, Virginia. (1936)

DESCRIPTION:

This is the family graveyard of Robert Deatherage.  The grave markers are rocks 
found on the farm, hand-carved and shaped.  On some it is very difficult to make 
out the inscriptions.  Only initials and dates of death are inscribed.  This 
graveyard is enclosed by a stone fence and lies on the side of a hill behind the 
house.  It is in bad condition, being over-grown with briers, etc.  Only one 
inscription prior to 1860 was legible.  The initials “M. D.” stand for Margaret 
Deatherage, a daughter of  Robert Deatherage.

M. D.
Feb. 6, 1852
