This cemetery in Carroll Virginia is located off Rt. 607 (Iron Ridge Road), 
behind the Midway Baptist Church. The original church was built in 1909. All
the records were lost when the church burned in 1936. A new church was built
on the site in 1954 and in recent years a new church has been built beside
the old one.

By tradition, the cemetery was neglected for a number of years. Later it was 
cleared of briars and undergrowth and sown in grass. Unfortunately some 
well-meaning people removed all the fieldstone grave markers. There is an 
undetermined number of unmarked graves. The newest marker in the cemetery is 
61 years old. It appears there is room for more burials, but in fact the 
cemetery has no more space. Many of the unmarked graves are family members 
of workers who came to this area to work in a nearby iron mine. Most of them 
moved on, leaving nothing behind but their sweat in the mine, and their 
loved ones in the cemetery.

The cemetery is presently being expanded. It is well fenced and maintained.
