Notes

Headstone is marked as "Wife of Capt. Ralph Stewart". Head stone does not contain a date. This cemetery is located in Clearfork, near Crany. To find Keatley Cemetery, take route 85 from Oceana, towards Kopperston. At Country Junction, in Toney Fork, take a right towards Toneda Baptist Church. It's roughly 4 or 5 miles down this road, on the left hand side of the road. It's about 15, or 20, yards up in the mountain. To make it even more difficult, you can't see it from the road due to the brush and trees. Very hard to find.
