Take Rt 40 E. from Rocky Mount, VA and go through Glade Hill. Turn left on state Rt 834 and then turn right on state Rt 840. Go to State Rt 662 and go left. There are two houses at the intersection of 840 and 662. Take a left on and go about a half mile to a gravel road. There is a field and you walk through the field and back in the woods there is a cemetery. Apparently called Wingo Cemetery. Since locating this cemetery in the 80's homes were built in the area near Smith Mt Lake, and I need to go back and locate it again.

Wiley died in Franklin Co VA on 15 January, 1940. He would have been 78 years old when he died.
