Brickey Cemetery



The first view...

These three Compton graves share a unique shape.

The tall grass sways above many of the stones.

Alex Wilkerson.







Father Elder John Bunyan and Mother Rebecca Stinnett, parents of 13 children. "Gone from our home but not from our heart."



Francis Marion Brickey



Dockery Gillespie Brewer served in the Spanish-American War in 1898.

Unmarked. 

Elder John Horace and Mary Jane Compton Abbott. A prominent stone angled away from the others. The parents of eight children.

Three Walker infants side by side.

"Our Darling"

Accessibility: Road




 The Brickey Cemetery is located about 5.3 miles outside the park boundary coming from Wear Cove Gap Road that turns into Lyon Springs Road upon exiting the park and dead ends into Hwy. 321. A right turn onto 321 takes you 4.1 miles to Brickey Cemetery. A sharp turn just before the cemetery makes it easy to miss as there is only a slight pull off to access the cemetery. When leaving, use caution as you'll be backing into traffic with blind curves in both directions.

The first thing that caught the eye here was the overgrown nature of the cemetery and the fact that it looks considerably smaller than it actually is. With 210 graves, I expected a larger area and its always disheartening to see any cemetery unmaintained. Brickey was established in 1810.
