Old Campbell Cemetery of Rose Hill, Va

The finished product had been installed at our cemetery. Mary J. Campbell was second to oldest of James and Ellinor Campbell’s children. She died young due to Flux (now known as Dysentery).

What do I do on my day of birth you ask? I worry about someone else’s day of death 😂😂

So glad to almost have this one done. I will never do a time consuming one like this again!! This is for my fifth great aunt Mary Jane Campbell.

Starting to wrap up the cleaning of the cemetery. I have around two rows left and I am finished. After that, over the next few months, you will begin to see the magic of D/2 Biological Solution. Stones will begin to lighten until they look brand new. After the initial cleaning, you spray the D/2 and walk away every year or so. So anxious to begin resetting some of these crooked stones in the next few visits

Another stone in the works! Thanks to some newly discovered family Bible records, we can safely say that Mary J. Campbell will be able to have her life honored by placing a tombstone in the Old Campbell Cemetery in her memory. She was the older sister to my 4th great-grandfather, David Calvin Campbell.

Back at it this morning. All the tombstones in the cemetery are over half way done. After the cleaning and it starts to get a little cooler outside, I’ll be resetting/leveling several stones. Age has not been too kind and neglect has happened a little but soon enough the cemetery will be back in shape. I do believe that this is the prettiest the cemetery has ever looked! So many people in the family have banded together this year to do a lot and I’m so grateful. Thank you to all those who have given me money as well to purchase cleaning supplies and tools.

I'm reaching out again, asking for help in finding a photo of a water mill that was on Martins Creek in Rose Hill. It would've been owned by Tom Edd's family before it was torn down sometime prior to the 1960's. I'm attaching a couple of photos that have it shown in the background. I'd love to find a picture of it before publishing my Lee County book. If you know anyone that has or currently lives on Martins Creek, please show them these photos in hopes of uncovering one!

I still have several books i
Need to sell. If you have family members you could possibly let know about these books.

We want to give much thanks to Philip Alves and his grandson Isaac for the work they’ve done trimming up the trees along the road up to the cemetery and the large tree at the entrance of the cemetery. The sweltering heat made for a difficult time but it looks wonderful!
