    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.
         Interred there are:
