Glades Memorial Cemetery (A-A)

Grayson County, Virginia

Location: Fairview

Directions: This cemetery is on the east side of Fairview Road (Rt 821) 0.25 mile north of the Fairview Elementary School.

GPS Coordinates: N36.588628 W80.913465

Surveyed by: 12 Jul 2004 by Fran Douglas, updated 15 Jun 2008 by Buford C. Wilson

Comments: This is a very old black cemetery. By tradition the Glades Union Methodist Church was located beside the cemetery. There are many unmarked graves indicated by sunken ground and fieldstones. It appears the older part of the cemetery has no more room for burials.
