FAIRFAX FAMILY CEMETERY

Fairfax Station, Virginia USA

Original Information from Volume 2 of the Gravestone Books

This Fairfax Family Cemetery is located in a wooded area on property at 15500 Lakewood Lane, Fairfax Station, in the northern corner of the lot. The cemetery can be accessed from several directions.

At the front fence of 7733 Black Walnut Court in Quailwood Manor Estates off Wolf Run Shoals Road, proceed from the driveway to the right along the outside of the fence. At the end of the fence, go into the woods and walk along the split rail fence through the trees to the cemetery. The site is adjacent to the split rail fence. The house seen through the woods over the split rail fence is 11600 Springtime Lane.

From 15500 Lakewood Lane, go up the driveway and turn into the woods opposite the garage. Follow the split rail fence through the woods to the cemetery site.

Yet another way to find the cemetery which has been described as hard to locate, is to walk along the outside of the fence which borders the property of 15500 Lakewood Lane and 7733 Black Walnut Court. Begin at the corner of the fence on Lakewood Lane between the pasture and the woods. When the fence ends, turn into the woods and follow the split rail fence to the gravesite.

The location has been described as 150 yards north of Lakewood Lane, about 200 yards from Lakewood Lane's intersection with Wolf Run Shoals Road.

In addition to one marked grave, there is evidence of at least six graves, several marked with fieldstones. Two depressions are very sunken. There are other fieldstones scattered around the 50-by-50-foot area, which is covered with periwinkle. Overall, the site is in good condition in deep woods without dense growth.
