LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Old Stone Church:
                  1936 July 9
                  Research made by Scioto M. Herndon

Cemetery Location:  About 8 miles north of Staunton, Va., on Route #11
                    Augusta County




There are a few old graves here but the cemetery contains the remains of the 
Civil War veterans and men prominent in the civic and political life of the 
county.  This is a beautifully kept cemetery enclosed by an iron fence and 
landscaped.  The original cemetery for this church lies across the road a short 
distance and will be described elsewhere as Old Augusta Cemetery.  The church 
was organized in 1748 but the oldest grave in this plot is dated 1841.
