Orange County, Virginia - Ellisville Methodist Church Cemetery

Located on Rt. 651 between Rt. 522 and Rt. 20. There are four rows of tombstones, 
with a total of 23 plots identified. The stones are in good shape to be over 100 
years old, and could probably be read better by someone more experienced in tombstone 
reading. This cemetery is located down the road from my daughter's farm, and while on 
vacation in March 1999, I stopped to read it and place the file in the USGenWeb Archives 
to help researchers. 

The church is a beautiful white woodsiding, and although the building and grounds are
in excellent condition, it is not being used at this time.
