Lett, Cole, Jordan, Bowers, Duke Family Cemetery
The cemetery is located in an area just outside of South Hill
known as Baskerville. It lies on Baskerville Road (Route 669) and
is on the left-hand side when coming from 58. The cemetery is
situated barely within sight of the firetower, a few hundred yards
from the structure on it's right-hand side. The graves are enclosed in
a black, iron fence and are only a few yards from the road. To say
the least, the sight is not maintained.
