THERE IS ANOTHER MILITARY STYLE MONUMENT FOR DREWRY FARLEY IN ANOTHER CEMETERY IN PIPESTEM, THE NELSON FARLEY CEMETERY located on Shockley Hill. THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CEMETERIES WITH TWO DIFFERENT GRAVES AND TWO DIFFERENT MARKERS FOR DREWRY FARLEY. Local historians and family members disagree on which cemetery Drewry Farley was buried in, so he has a marker in two different cemeteries.
The Drewry Farley Monument was commissioned by the Pipestem Ruritan Club in the late 1960s and reads:

He served with Daniel Boone in the Hugh Caperton Company in Frontier Militia at the present site of Charleston in 1793. Born 1760, Bedford County, VA, died 1851. He named Pipestem because of the hollow stems found along the creek. Sons: Andrew, Archibald, Issac, Drewry, Jr, Gideon, Francis, Squire, Henley. Daughters: Nancy, Rachel, Cleo."
