Bethel Cemetery
Nelson County, Virginia

1921 Variety Mills Rd., Arrington, VA

Lat: 37° 47' 17"N, Lon: 78° 01' 11"W

Contributed by Elodie Thompson, Jan 25, 2004 [ethom12250@aol.com].  Total records = 182.

To reach from Arrington take Rt. 29 North, turn right onto Wilson Hill Rd and continue for 2½ mi, right onto Rt. 655 and continue for 1.9 miles, cemetery will be on left.

This cemetery is owned and well maintained by the Bethel Church of the Brethren in Arrington.

This is a complete transcription of the cemetery, which I photographed Jan 04, 2004 with a digital camera. I am willing to share if anyone wants a copy of a headstone.
