OLD CEMETERY - N. Gate City #93
By WILLIAM BROCK
Newspaper Article dated June 3 1987
Located just south of Road 669, on the other side of the road from the CULBERTSON CEMETERY #14. This is taken from an article in the local newspaper, The Virginia Star.
"Overgrown Cemetery A Mystery to Mineral Hill Man"
It is a woody copse appearing perhaps like many other throughout the county, dotted with trees, brush and leek-of-the-heart. One might have passed it by on numerous occasions without taking particular notice of it.
Yet in the midst of it you would note the stones - small, rough hewn and laid in regular rows by the dozen. And there is one lone marker - flat, erect, slightly rounded at the top with a large "bite" taken out of the side. You have stumbled into a very old cemetery - rudimentary, neglected and overgrown. It is the final resting place of persons unknown and for the moment unknowable even in name. Bare stone is all that marks one how once was here, but is no longer.
This very cemetery was discovered by WILLIAM BROCK, a retired coal miner now living in Mineral Hill area. It lies on a piece of land he was leasing for cattle, and it was due to those cattle he discovered it. Late at night about three weeks ago he lost a cow and gained a calf - then suddenly realized this had all taken place in the very midst of an old cemetery.
BROCK returned in the daylight to survey the old cemetery further. At least eighteen small stones are visible, although BROCK ventures that perhaps 30 or 40 graves altogether might lie within the area. One of the grave sites show signs of having caved (probably under the weight of a cow) in an area large enough to indicate the possibility of more than one internment in a single
plot.
But who is buried there? The crudeness of the grave markers and the degree of erosion on the only marker which was hewn with any precision would lead one to think it was a burial place for early settlers in the area. It would at least appear that the graves were laid at a time when the living had very little leisure to
erect may well-crafted or lasting monuments.
BROCK however, has discovered interesting evidence at the grave site which raises the prospect that some violence may have occurred at the very site at one time.
The only headstone which appears to have been carved with any degree of care has, as we noted, a chunk missing from the side. When one
inspects the headstone closely one can see that it is a finely-layered sedimentary stone, which appears to have been "shivered" with one sharp blow from a hard object. In line with this broken area is an old wooden post - with a bullet hole marking the trajectory of the musket ball which shattered the headstone. BROCK dug out this musket ball and showed it to this reporter.
. Some part of Scott County's heritage lies buried in that plot of land forgotten and left in a state of abandonment.
"If the people who are buried here helped win this country they just shouldn't be neglected like that .... It's not right, " said BROCK.
