Wood Cemetery
Also known as Cookenour-Reed Cemetery
Gate City, Scott County, Virginia, USA
82°37.52'-W
The Wood Cemetery (aka Cookenour-Reed Cemetery) is at the very top of a ridge on the north side of Little Moccasin Creek Valley. There is extremely limited access, as the "road" is no more than a rough trail with some elevation issues. The cemetery today has had some work done to it by Oscar "Junior" Peters, Jr. but is still in a primitive condition. It has been overgrown by trees, covered with debris. But Mr. Peters, despite his age, has cleared around it and removed much wood.
While there are maybe as many as 100 indentations where graves were dug, and many, many small stones used for markers, there is only one headstone in this cemetery, that of Thomas Franklin Reed, Sr. His wife is also buried by his side (according to family) but has no stone.
