BUSH CEMETERY
Virginia City, Wise Co. Va.
We visited the cemetery in July 2002
The location is on Russell Creek Rd. turning right off of 58 coming from St. Paul, Va. and about a mile into Virginia City on a hillside before Hughes Holler Rd. It has looked very well kept and neat each time I've visited. This year coal mining was being done very close to it.
According to maps this is called Bush Cemetery but we didn't find the name on any stones in the cemetery. There's about six deep depressions at the top of the cemetery and many fieldstones that seem to be marking graves. I know that at one time the Bush family owned this land.
We didn't  disturb any markers or memorials as we took photos. I"ve placed a link to the photos at the bottom of the page. I have shared  them  with  the Wise Co. Site.
