J. C. KISER CEMETERY
NEAR S. CLINCHFIELD, VIRGINIA

LATITUDE/LONGITUDE
365724N 821230W (extrapolated from USGS Quad Map: Carbo, VA)

DIRECTIONS
From South Clinchfield, VA go South on Rt 615 for about 1.5 miles. Pass the large (and locally well-known) Kiser Cemetery on your right. Go for approx 4/10 mile around a bend to the left. You will notice there is a creek on the right side of the road. Cross the creek (go north) and walk directly up the hill. There is no path despite what the USGS map indicates. Begin looking for palmetto plants that have escaped the cemetery and a large stand of pines. Several cedar posts are still there and some odd bits of wire that were part of the fence.

FIELD NOTES: 2/15/99
This cemetery is in the woods and well-hidden with honeysuckle, greenbriars and small sumac trees. No field stones could be located under the heavy growth despite winter-time conditions. This cemetery will be lost to nature the next USGS revision date.

FORMAT Note: Items in parenthesis are the best guess of the researcher. Items in brackets are my comments. A double stone is two people on one stone - usually husband and wife unless otherwise indicated.
