The ties that bind

Chestnut Stand Cemetery

Located on Chestnut Stand Mountain. From Rt. 52 in Irvine, go North on 52, turn right onto Sweetlick Rd. which becomes Chestnut Stand Rd. (This is a steep, narrow road and can be treacherous.) When you get near the top of the mountain, there will be several nice homes. Watch for Marble Yard Rd. on left. Very shortly after you pass Marble Yard Rd., Chestnut Cemetery Rd. is a hard right. The cemetery is only a few hundred feet. These photos were taken hurriedly while tap dancing around the snakes. I didn't take time to extract what was written on the tombstones. Many of the pictures are poor quality and will be re-taken this winter, when the snakes are sleeping! Data from the tombstones will also be extracted at the cemetery, which will allow accurate reading of older tombstones.

This cemetery has a couple hundred stones, many of them creek rocks. There is also a large pile of stones in the woods next to the cemetery. It is not known if they have been removed from the cemetery or were piled there for future use. Tombstones are being added for old burials so this list may change. Check back often. I will place personal comments or comments made by other researchers in [brackets]. Otherwise, the information has come from the actual tombstones. Since the photos of the stones are available (click on the name), only names, dates and relationships have been extracted.

Mr. Bold snake!

Camo snake!
