LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Frazier graveyard:
                  1936 Aug. 11
                  Research made by Scioto M. Herndon

Cemetery Location:  In a field about a quarter of a mile from Route #250 at 
                    Jennings, Virginia.
                    Augusta County




This is an interesting plot.  It is surrounded by a cement wall, rounded and 
capped on top, and is full of wild rose bushes, trees and some boxwood.   There 
is an ornamental, iron gate, which is padlocked, in the north side of the wall.  
There are only six graves here and all but one are flat covering stones.  The 
one inscription not included in this write-up is of a victim of the War Between 
the States, who died of typhoid fever, at Barboursville, in 1861.

The inscriptions are interesting and because of the heavy covering of vines and 
leaf mold, are remarkably clear.  One grave contains the remains of an early 
immigrant from Ireland and the earliest burial date is 1833.  The Mrs. Malvina 
Frazier listed was the wife of a nephew of her father and the young man who died 
of fever seems to have been her son.
