You may have found answers to your inquiry on The Beale Familiy Cemetery by now, but I'll offer this just in case. I have ancestors buried there and have visited it several times. I can give you some information and also have photos. E-mail me directly if you wish: ffoulger@hotmail.com

It is now called Mt. Joy Cemetery. It is on Botetourt County Rte T625 (Mt. Joy Road, just over 1/2 mile off U.S. Rte 11 (Lee Highway)and just before the I-81 underpass.

Use Mapquest: 599 Mt. Joy Road, Buchanan, VA 24066. Switch to 'Aerial Map', then zoom in as far as you can. The cemetery is hidden under the clump of trees just to the left of the house. Do not use Google Maps - it shows the wrong location.

The book 'Cemeteries', Geraldine Mangus Obenshain (1986), records names on the headstones. It is available at the Fincastle Library, Fincastle, VA.

Cheers and good luck with your research.
