Copass Cemetery
2003
Located across from Tri Cities Baptist Church, Hog Hollow Road in the Eastern Star area of Washington County. The cemetery is on top of the hill under the electrical tower. There was once a fence surrounding the cemetery, but it is now broken down. The cemetery is very overgrown and it is impossible to tell how many graves are there.
