                    Buckingham County


DATE:

1837.  The oldest grave marker.

OWNERS:

This cemetery is in a body of oak woods.  There is only one marker, and this is 
a very large marble slab with the inscription on the back, although this slab 
has been up about one hundred years (1937) it is in perfect condition, and is as 
secure in the ground today as ever.  There are other graves thought to be slaves 
in the Langhorne family.

DESCRIPTION:

Following is the inscription:


Sacred to the memory of
Elizabeth J.
Consort of John R. Bennett
and daughter of Rev. Maurice M. and Ann Langhorne
Born July 29, 1810
Died Dec. 26, 1837
She embraced religion in her ninth year and joined the
Methodist E. Church in her 13th year in which she lived
a faithful member and devout follower of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever
wakes to weep, a calm and undisturbed repose, unbroken
by the last of foes.
