William Gibson Cemetery

Cemetery is Located on County Road 628, near the junction of 666, east of Saint Paul. There are about 15 unmarked graves. The Black Servants are also buried here. All the Smith Headstones were moved to Temple Hill Cemetery, Temple Hill Virginia, but the remains are still at the William Gibson Cemetery. There are only two remaining headstones, That of William Gibson and Ida Strouth. But a footstone marks the foot of John Wesley Smith's grave, and it is also surrounded by field stones. The Cemetery is overgrown, and located on the Dickenson Farm.
