Survey Description:
Site consists of a cemetery associated with Moore’s Chapel. Approximately 94 graves were represented by a
variety of markers. Identified graves
included: 14 marked with single marble headstones, eight marked with double
marble headstones, two with cast cement headstones, 52 with cement
paving-bricks, one with metal alloy & fieldstone markers, two with metal
alloy markers, three with cement and metal alloy markers, one with marble slab,
and three with wooden crosses. Cemetery
was well maintained and covered with mowed grass. No apparent historic
plantings were in the cemetery; however, yucca, hostas, and other plants
separate the southwest boundary from an adjacent driveway. The northwest boundary is within eight feet
of Route 622. Site was field inspected,
photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed and compared to
previous site documentation. Site size
was estimated by pacing the horizontal extent of observed graves.

Additional Comments:
Assigned temporal period was based on headstone inscriptions; however,
some of the uninscribed paving brick and fieldstone markers may indicate an
earlier use of the site. Death dates on
inscribed headstones ranged from 1888 through 1997. Cemetery contained a
variety of uninscribed cement markers.
Informant RJ Garman reported that a member of the Moore Chapel
congregation removed numerous uninscribed fieldstone markers from the cemetery and
replaced them with cement paving bricks.
He also possesses a map which identifies the names and burial locations
of all the deceased within the cemetery.
Site is marked on USGS Glenvar map sheet and on local realty maps.
The RVHS surveyed this cemetery and documented biographical
information from seven graves that predated 1921 (1986: 160-161).
