FREDERICK COUNTY, VA - CEMETERIES – Old Lutheran Cemetery ----¤¤¤---- Source: Library of Virginia Digital Collection LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Old Lutheran graveyard: 1936 Oct. 26 Research made by Robert G. VanMeter Cemetery Location: In Stephen City, Virginia Frederick County DATE: 1816, date of oldest grave. OWNERS: Lutheran Church. DESCRIPTION: This grave yard was used by the Lutherans as a burying place for their members. It is in fairly good condition. The undergrowth is kept trimmed but some markers are down and some have sunk into the ground so far that part of the inscription can not be read. Tradition says that the land for this graveyard and church was donated by a Mr. Krider, stipulating only that the Krider family have the row in the graveyard nearest the Church which was granted, but the yard fence was removed some time ago which brought the grave yard to the wall of the church, so that others were buried neared than the Kriders.
