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

Cemetery Location:  About 2 miles west of Fort Defiance, on Route #744
                    Augusta County




This is a private plot, enclosed by a stone wall, and is in very good condition, 
as the Houff family maintain a fund for its care.  There are six readable 
inscriptions and a few river stones which do not appear to have been marked.  
The earliest definite date seems to be 1849 but the river stones are much older.  
This family was connected with the Vanlear family, who furnished several 
ministers to churches in the county.
