Robert Shaw Family Cemetery
Alexandria
Located Upper Lick Branch and Grandview Roads off Route 10, behind the red barn This cemetery was catalogued by Shelby Meyer and Rosco Hornsby in the early 1960s, and was field checked July 5, 2006 by Herman R. "Buck" Seibert
The cemetery has been mowed recently and only about a half
dozen stones are still standing. Most stones are now in a pile in the middle of
the area. The barn has been in very bad shape for several years and it looks
like the storm over the weekend has dealt its final blow. The front of the barn
is now leaning out toward Grandview Rd. and is about to fall down. I suspect
the barn will be removed soon since it is a hazard. I was told by a passerby
that the 80 acres are for sale for $2 million.
