Cemetery Pictures



McDowell Cemetery, Fairfield, Virginia

Andrew and Nancy Scott are buried in McDowell Cemetery, on Rte. 11 south of Fairfield, VA and north of Timber Ridge Church. The cemetery is visible from the highway and is enclosed by a brick wall. In May 2000, it was very overgrown and both Andrew and Nancy Scott's tombstones were very difficult to read. The transcriptions are from Aunt Jessie's notes.
