I was recently in Buena Vista looking for a Providence Baptist church cemetery. My directions lead me to the main cemetery downtown but there were none of the names I was seeking. Can someone tell me if there is another cemetery that may be the correct one? I am looking for Palmer, Wilkins, Short family names - some of them buried as early as 1880 and some as late as 1940s.
