Howarth /Muir Family Cemetery

This cemetery is located within the Fairmont Wildlife Management Area.  It is 
recommended that you visit this cemetery during the winter months and at low 
tide if possible.

Directions:  From Princess Anne, take Rt. 13 south to Rt. 413 (right).  At 
Westover, turn right on Rt. 361 (Fairmont).  Continue 8 - 10 miles until the 
road appears to take a hard right.  At that point go straight on Ford Wharf Rd.  
This dirt road will end at a gate.  From this point it is about a 1/4 mile walk 
heading east (go straight).  The road will curve to the right and on the left 
will be a large drainage ditch.  The cemetery will be on your right after you 
cross the bridge.

This cemetery has not been cared for in many years.  It's overgrown, the tomb 
stones are broken and hard to read.  It appears that one grave (child) has been 
removed.
