Recently, descendants of L. H. B. “Lytte” Toliver and Nancy Arnetty Coretta Privett Toliver visited the Tolliver Cemetery at Millstone in Letcher County, KY. Ellis Tolliver’s children and grandchildren mowed, cut vines and sprouts and put flowers on the graves. Most of all, they enjoyed the day telling their family about their memories of living up the “holler.”

L. H. B.’s tombstone is located on the hill above the fenced-in cemetery. Arnetty’s grave is in Rowan County on the Hall farm on Riddle Road. Lytte’s son, Melvin and wife, Arminda Baker Tolliver are buried at Millstone along with many of their descendants, including Sheriff J. D. Tolliver and Henry B. Tolliver and Mary Tolliver Wright. Melvin’s son, Willie L. “Caney” Tolliver’s first wife, Ottie Fulton Tolliver and their two youngest sons, Marion and Cordell and Willie’s grandson, Aaron, son of Ellis and Callie Bentley Tolliver, are also there.

The Lytte Tolliver descendants enjoyed seeing the Craft Mill Stones on the bridge at the mouth of Millstone. These stones are from the grist mill/saw mill used by their maternal grandfather, Enoch “Chunk” Craft. Several of the buildings in the coal camp across the creek were built by their maternal grandfather, Elbert Bentley, a carpenter and general store owner who helped build many of the coal camps in Letcher County, KY.

The workers included Donald and Mary Tolliver; daughter Pam; son Phillip and his sons, Derrick and Ryan from Greenup, KY; Ray Tolliver’s daughter, Lisa from Ashland, KY; Ottie Tolliver Brown’s daughter, Lois Taphouse from Dacula, GA, Ottie’s sons Bill Brown (Bev), Charles (Geraldine), and Dale Brown (Jody) from London, OH; Sabrina T. Kiser and daughter Rachel Starnes from Wilmington, OH.
