Notes

A wonderful older multi-generational Musgrove family plot set right near the edge of Smith Mountain Lake. Cemetery is a large plot enclosed fully with a large wrought iron fence and gate. Cemetery is shaded heavily by an older deciduous and pine tree grove that completely shields the plot from growth. The interior is well maintained and clean, but markers have generally not been cleaned recently and several could use straightening, resets and cleaning to really shine. Overall a very nice and secure plot with likely 10 or more additional tomb/unmarked burials in addition to the nearly two dozen marked burial.
