Prominent Virginia families sleep eternally in a cemetery overlooking Sunnyside, their ancestral home. A peaceful resting place, nestled among the familiar hills they loved so much. Their joys and tears during their time on earth, forgotten as the decades moved on. Their life stories are now uncovered to be remembered for future generations. We can learn from the pain and struggles beginning with the birth of our nation. They can teach us about the core values and their magnificent vision for a republic. These notable Scottish and English ancestors left their heraldry for America's wilderness to become some of the first pioneer families in Southwest Virginia. Madeline Hoge is a Family Business Consultant and Family Historiographer living in Southwest Virginia on the Hoge family farm, Belle-Hampton. She compiled the writings of Robert H. Hoge, her husband's grandfather, into two books, his Autobiography and "Thoughts on This and That." She authored This and That: Lessons About Our Family's Core Values, Photographic Thoughts on This and That, and the blog This, That, And Then. Her passion for researching the life legacies of people who died and the lessons they teach us from beyond has evolved into her new book "Sleeping in the Valley."
