DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is in very bad condition, almost completely overgrown with 
underbrush.  A number of graves have been moved from this cemetery, and few of 
those which remain have markers of any kind.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:


This graveyard was probably started in the life time of George Shuler, who once 
owned all the land in this vicinity near the foot of the Massanutton Mountains.  
Many of the Shuler graves have been moved to the Brick Church Cemetery, five 
miles north of Shenandoah, Virginia on Route #12.  Many of the older Purdhams 
are buried here but there are no markers.  The only tombstones with inscriptions 
are as follows:

John Steep
Died in his 18
tenth year.
