By tradition, the old cemetery was neglected for a number of years. Later it was cleared of briars and undergrowth and sown in grass. Unfortunately some well-meaning people removed all the fieldstone grave markers. There are an undetermined number of unmarked graves. The newest marker in the old cemetery is 61 years old. It appears there is room for more burials, but in fact the cemetery has no more space. Many of the unmarked graves are family members of workers who came to this area to work in a nearby iron mine. Many of them moved on, leaving nothing behind but their sweat in the mine, and their loved ones in the cemetery. A new cemetery, beside the old one, has recently been opened.
Note that the mailing address/ZIP code is Galax which is an independent city in Virginia, not in Carroll County. The cemetery is in Carroll County.
