In Mt. Jackson, Shenandoah County
This is on Nelson Street behind the Old Soldiers Cemetery. Surnames include Banks, Berry, Bullett, Clifford, Cook, Dyer, Fadely, Green, Jennings, Lewis, Rankins, Rinker, Spinner, Turner, and Wilson.
In 2024, an archaeological survey was completed that uncovered a number of graves previously unknown, their markers gone. Some were on adjacent property, apparently because fences had encroached upon the property lines.
According to Shenandoah Stories, there were graves here by 1862, and were mentioned in writing by a Union officer.
I find reading the epitaph very interesting
