Boothe Family Graveyard
Steven Weaver
- click on files. All hail Ed for providing coordinates and "Eagle
Eyes" Laney for spotting the headstones! Look at the Boothe Family
Graveyard pic to appreciate what a feat that was - I'd have impaled
myself on the fence before spotting this one! Anyone wanting to visit
this graveyard can follow Steed Rollins' excellent previously posted
driving directions.
While this apparently is not the graveyard where John and Frederick
Rollins are buried, it is connected in that the Mary D. Boothe buried
here was a daughter of Burwell Rollins. There are six headstones in
all - Mary, her husband James, and four of their children. Some of
the pictures turned out better than others; a couple were particularly
challenging to photograph due to a tree growing directly in front of
the headstones. Hopefully Laney's pictures will be much better than
mine.
