259 turn south onto Route 612 (Hopkins Gap Road). After about 1-1/2 mile, turn right onto
Route 972 (Millertown Road). When the road ends, there are three driveways. Take the

left of the house. |
Notes |
In 1967 J. Robert Swank noted "A large single
stone (14 names) has been placed on the plot. There are no dates on stone. The plot is
fenced and maintained." In 1999 Patricia Turner Ritchie in her book gives history of
the Hess family and notes "Orinda Hess also has a stone in Mt. Grove Church of the
Brethren cemetery. Abraham F. Hess & his wife Dora Hoover Hess are also buried at Mt.
Grove Church of the Brethren." |
