At present I have 3 other old family cemeteries besides this one that I am working toward restoring, and keeping maintained. This one on Glen Burke Mountain is the top priority right now as it is an hour walk to the cemetery (No road), there are four wheeler trails to the cemetery, but I do not own a four wheeler so therefore I walk and carry what I need to eat, drink, and work with on my back. I need to get this one done before the snow starts. I plan to clean it up, put up a fence around it, and a sign reading VANCE Cemetery this fall. Next spring I plan to build a small cabin to use to store tools for maintaining the cemetery. The reason this one needs fenced this fall is there is an old McGlothlin family cemetery located on Glen Burke Mountain that was dozed over by a logging company this past spring, and right now they are logging within a half mile of this cemetery. The old McGlothlin cemetery was also grown up and hard to see unless you were looking for it. There is another old family cemetery located on Glen Burke Mountain, about a half mile from the old Vance cemetery, I do not know the name of this one, but I plan to clean it up hopefully next year, if I get to it that will make me five old family cemeteries I will be maintaining.

Thanks,

Tim
