Directions: Turn toward the river on Hermitage Road off Ft. Caroline Road, 
in the Arlington Area.  This takes you into the Cove St. Johns Subdivision.
Continue until you pass Clifton Forge Road.  The cemetery is in the side 
yard to the left of 3972 Cove St. John and River Valley Rd. South.

Condition: A good mowing would make this look a lot neater.  Some of the 
markers should be re-set.

Note: A survey on this cemetery was published in 1955 by Mrs. Lucy Ames 
Edwards, entitled: "Grave Markers of Duval County 1808-1916". This survey 
corrects a few errors, adds newer markers, but you will note that some 
markers are no longer present.

Abbreviations used: fs = footstone; s/o = son of; t/s = triple stone;
