NATHANIEL ROYSTER
CEMETERY
From Exit 11 Amoco take Highway 76 East to Highway 238 (Port Royal Road). Turn left, go 2.3 miles to Saddlerville Road. Turn right, go 2 miles. Cemetery is on the right in a corn field.
We try to keep families grouped together. If someone's last name is listed, it means they have a separate headstone. If it is not listed, they are sharing a headstone with someone else. Sometimes
children are on the same headstone as parents.
Since we do not personally know these families, if we aren't sure of a relationship we list who they are buried next to. Any help matching folks with their relatives will be greatly appreciated.
The information is exactly as it appears on the stones. If you know the person's full name, please let us know.

We miss thee from our home, dear
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o�er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere

From the bosom of love to the mansions of glory
