LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Major cemetery:
                  1937 Mar. 15
                  Research made by Margaret Jeffries

Cemetery Location:  1.6 miles east of Viewtown, Va., on Rt. #621; thence about 
                    100 yrds. south of Route #621.
                    Culpeper County




This cemetery is not kept up so very well.  The stone wall around it has been 
allowed to fall down in places.  However, the trees are kept trimmed and the 
grass cut.  Some of the stones are badly in need of cleaning and some of them 
have fallen down.
