Marders Family


9501 OLD COLCHESTER RD., LORTON


This small cemetery was located on part of the Lower Potomac Sewage Treatment Plant where several mature trees shaded the area. A 1922 survey by Carrie White Avery recorded the presence of only one gravestone. The inscription as recorded was taken from a 1968 photograph of the stone. There appeared to be 10+ burials, as well as the marble base of the aforementioned gravestone, but the stone was not found by the 1990 survey. The cemetery was overgrown, but not hard to locate. The Boggess/Ward House, "La Grange," which stood nearby burned Feb. 2. 1972.
Date of Survey: 2/16/1990
