Body
The cemetery site in 1976 when visited by Dr. Lucia Dunham, and Eugene and Marilyn Slatnick. They counted at least most of the 26 stones listed in the Cemetery Records of Washington County for a cemetery at this location. They were singly situated or arranged roughly in rows of 2 to 5 stones.
Dr. Dunham noted that in this photograph, over the hill, the bend in the Potomac River can be seen about half a mile away.
