Walls Cemetery
Grayson County, Virginia
Location: Middle Fork of Helton Creek
Directions: From Highlands Parkway (US 58) about 0.2 mile west of Mt. Rogers School go north on Middle Fork Ln (Rt 750) about 0.8 mile. Go right (east) on Hiley Branch Rd (Rt 828) about 0.8 mile to the Walls Cemetery at the end of the road.
GPS Coordinates: N36.615951 W81.536225
Surveyed by: Jeff Weaver and Dave Reedy on 12 Jun 2003
Comments: The cemetery is neat, clean, well fenced and has lots of room for expansion. It is, however, at the end of a very steep road. Several graves have small granite name markers flush with the ground of recent vintage. The supposition is that they replaced earlier field stones, when the identity of the person buried there was known. Listings with names but no dates are these markers.
