Description: Red Top cemetery was started in 1855 behind the Red Top School, for the fact that the North Fork River was impassible in December that year and it was not possible to get to Mann's Chapel Cemetery.

Pictures: I took pictures of EVERY stone in this cemetery in April 2008.

Subject: Cemetery Photos

Thanks for posting those photos. It's a lot of work but you do a great service for people who live far away. It was great to see my family headstones. I'm related to Henry and Eleanor (Dille - Forshier) Hoover, William and Eldora (Sherill)Forshier. Recently I was accepted to the DAR from a relation on my father's side. When I visited several years ago I remembered a headstone with a Revolutionary War citation. I thought it would be nice to have a soldier from my mother's side as well, but I couldn't remember who he was. I found him in your photos, George Redden is Eldora Sherill's Great Grandfather on her mother's side. Now I just have to get the hard evidence.

I just bought the Red Top Cemetery House. Any history you can tell me I would be interested in. It had been forclosed on and winterized April 08, but they let the heating system freeze and break. The basement was flooded. We are currently gutting it. They we will move upstairs to see what has to be removed in it because of mold. But it is a great house. I am very excited. Thanks for the info.
