Blythe July 15, 1909 - Dec. 24, 1956 Sara Jane Blythe Dec. 24, 1910 - July 30, 1992 Unidentified grave NOTE: Many of the grave markers identifying old graves are fairly new and probably do not contain all the information that was on the original grave stones. I do not know who replaced them, nor do I know the disposition of the old stones. It is worth noting that the Southampton County Historical Society shows a survey in 1993 of that cemetery on their web site. They indicate over sixty people are buried there, but with only a few exceptions, they give only names with no other identifying data. An annotated version of the list is included in the SCHS Cemetery Project, Miscellaneous Cemeteries, Vol. 4 (IV- 22-24), posted at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/southampton/cemeteries/miscvol4.txt Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by Mrs. Bruce Saunders (bs4403@verizon.net), and re-formatted by File Manager Matt Harris. file at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/southampton/cemeteries/blythe.txt
