Viola's death and burial











Viola died in Fayette County, West Virginia on February 9, 1946 of a cerebral hemorrahage. She was buried in the White family cemetery in Springdale, West Virginia.
The cemetery is located on top of the hill behind these old white building. Go behind the buildings, cross the small bridge, cross the railroad tracks and follow the path up the hill. It's a steep climb so be prepared.
The cemetery is on property owned and maintained by Chester Walker - a direct descendent of Viola and Richard White. Chester and his family do a wonderful job keeping the cemetery in good shape.

  1. Hello, I found your blog from a google search for White Cemetery. Several of my ancestors are buried there. My Great Great Grandparents, Letcher Esco Spade and Vernie Lee Sanner, are among the family buried there. Vernie's mother was Martha June White, which is likely why they are buried in the White Cemetery. I visited the cemetery once, back in 2011. Thank you for your post.
