PHILLIPPI #1 - D13
This cemetery is on the Luther Phillippi farm south of Rural
Retreat, on the road to Cedar Springs. [Cameron -- this location
is just before you get to the dam for the Rural Retreat Lake.
The old Phillippi home sits just off and on the east side of the
road in a sharp curve, and across the road and up on the hill
from the house is the cemetery. The exact location is unknown
because there are no markers and never have been according to
Phillippi family members.] Isiaiah Phillippi, a brother to Luther
was born in 1855 - a young unmarried man and one other of that
family are buried in this cemetery. Christian Phillippi, and his
wife are supposed to also be buried here. [Cameron note: This
Christian was the one who married Catherine Dutton]

The above private cemetery records were taken from the records
of Mr. Frank Repass Brown, of Rural Retreat, Virginia. They ARE
NOT a complete listing of all private cemeteries in Wythe County,
VA.
These cemeteries were copied by Mr. Brown, beginning in the
1930's. The compiler (Joe
Cameron) has copied the information exactly as stated by Mr.
Brown unless a clarification was needed, but these records have
not been verified by Cameron. Mr. Brown, however, was personally
known by Cameron, and in his opinion, these records are as accurate
as can be possible.
The location descriptions for some of these cemeteries are
not very clear - some are even unknown to Cameron. It was felt,
however, that Mr. Brown's words should not be changed in any way.
Time permitting, Mr. Cameron will later add better descriptions
of the cemetery locations.
