UPDATE:I am told that the referenced lady is:Maggie E. Flanary; b Mar 13, 1874; d Oct 23, 1901 (after giving birth to James M Slemp on Oct 1, 1901).Husband Hugh Letcher Slemp b Jan 4, 1859; d Apr 25 1913.Parents of Maggie are: James Monroe Flanary and Nevesta O Slemp.The information I received shows that they were both buried in the Flanary Cemetery on Wallens Creek, Lee County Virginia.However, it appears that she was buried on the family farm which is about 1/4 mile from the Flanary Cemetery.It is still a mystery as to why a corn crib would be built over her grave?(The preceding information was provided by Merrell (Slemp) Edwards and Ann Slemp)
