Meredith Hunter Ballew meredithballew@hotmail.com COMMENTS: Gwen, I just located your site through a random internet search and wanted to tell you about my dad's family's cemetary, located in Nebo, North Carolina (McDowell County). The cemetary is called Ballew Cemetary and is located at Nebo United Methodist Church. The cemetary is so named because its land was donated to the church many years ago by my grandfather, W. Jay Ballew. Buried there are my grandparents (W. Jay Ballew and Alice Belle Hunter Ballew), 3 of my uncles (John Ballew, William Ballew, and Robert Harry Ballew), one of which, John, was killed at the age of 20 in World War II, and several cousins. There are some interesting inscriptions on the older graves, but I haven't written them down. If I find out what they are, I'll pass them along to you. I'm very interested in Ballew family history and would love to hear what you know about other Ballews, especially from North Carolina. I hope you find this information helpful. Thanks. Sincerely, Meredith Hunter Ballew
