This is a privately owned graveyard and is in an open field with no fence around 
it.  Many of the stones have been knocked down by cattle.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Abraham Strickler, son of Isaac Strickler of Egypt in Massanutten, was born 
about 1765, and is believed to be buried here.  We know that he owned and lived 
in the old log house just above the graveyard.  His son, Abraham, Jr., is buried 
here.  This branch of Stricklers descends from Abraham Strickler, the pioneer 
Strickler, who came to Virginia about 1726-1730 and purchased 1000 acres from 
Jacob Stover.

Quite a few people were buried here.  Most of the stones are round sandstones 
with no names or dates.
