UNNAMED CEMETERY - DOWDEN TERRACE
In the center of the 5600 block of Bouffant Boulevard
Lincolnia, Virginia USA
Original Information from Volume 5 of the Gravestone Books
A large island sits in the center of Bouffant Boulevard in the 5600 block, between Rosser and Paul Streets in the Dowden Terrace area. The island is covered with grass and mature trees with the hint of a few depressions to suggest that this is a cemetery.
The site was visited in 1989, 1991, 1994 and 1998. Surveyors found the area well maintained. The 1991 surveyor interviewed a neighbor who stated that “old man Dowden” had once owned all of the surrounding property. A park at the end of Bouffant Boulevard is called Dowden Terrace Park.
