I would still like to know how there came to be graves at the Mt. Nebo cemetery long before Mt. Nebo was established. Was the cemetery associated with an earlier church, or was the cemetery at Mt. Nebo a "free-standing" cemetery in the Queen Anne area? The James Taylor Loveless buried there is a member of my ancestral family.
