The Old Gravely Hill Cemetery was begun as the private family burying ground of the MILES PRICE family and located on the Miles Price homestead. Miles Price was a Confederate veteran who gave the burial plot to the family of any other Confederate veteran which desired it. Twenty-three Confederate veterans, one Civil War veteran with Union Forces, five World War I veterans, and two Spanish-American War veterans are buried here. The earliest marker is that of J.D. Carmichel, who died December 15, 1862.
