Wills Cemetery, Bull Creek Tutorials Index


WILLS CEMETERY
just off the Lancer-Water Gap road (rte. 302) at Bull Creek
 
There are approximately 25 graves with sandstone markers that are unreadable now. 
I also suspect that there are some more gravesites further up the hill.  I will check on these later.
