LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Orman Carson graveyard:
                  1936 July 9
                  Research made by Scioto M. Herndon

Cemetery Location:  This graveyard is located in a field about a quarter of a 
                    mile from the house on the land owned by Ormond Carson, 
                    which is 9 miles from Staunton, Va., on the Springhill road.
                    Augusta County




The graves have been so overgrown with aspen and boxwood that it is impossible 
to get close enough to secure all inscriptions.  Over the earliest graves the 
boxwood has spread to a length and width of about twenty feet and grows down to 
within a few inches of the ground.  There is also a veteran of the War Between 
the States buried here, who was accidentally killed after the war.

The Ormond Carson Graveyard is a private family plot, originally belonging to 
Mr. Silas Jones, who held his land in a patent dated 1775.  This plot contains 
the remains of members of his family, and of the Hamrick and Fishburne families.

Mother, thou hast died and left us
Oh! you loss we deeply feel
But its God that has bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
