OLD CASTLETON WADE CEMETERY

This cemetery in about 7 miles from Big Stone Gap and located at the top of a hill to the left of Wampler Hollow Road off Alt-58.

This cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in the Turkey Cove/Seminary Community. The property was owned by Castleton Wade and probably one of the first graves in 1855. The Indian, Nellie Feather Clarkston, is buried in an unmarked grave and the Clarkstons say she was buried the by 'her people'. Other Indians are buried here also.

This cemetery is high on a hill covered with briars, broken brush, downed trees, snakes and is in poor condition. The hill is so steep that it was difficult to carry heavy loads so another Cemetery was created several hundred yards to the right of it and just off Alt 58 and called the Lafayette Wade Cemetery, son of Castleton, death 1932.

Documentation is provided by the help of Alma C. Hobbs due the the accessibility. This cemetery is INACCESSIBLE.
