Sleeping In the Valley Madeline S Hoge

Prominent Virginia families sleep eternally in a cemetery overlooking Sunnyside, their ancestral home. A peaceful resting place, nestled among the familiar hills they loved so much. Their joys and tears during their time on earth, forgotten as the decades moved on. Their life stories are now uncovered to be remembered for future generations. We can learn from the pain and struggles beginning with the birth of our nation. They can teach us about the core values and their magnificent vision for a republic. These notable Scottish and English ancestors left their heraldry for America's wilderness to become some of the first pioneer families in Southwest Virginia.
