Saint Paul's Chapel Cemetery

Here follows an excerpt from the Fairfax Genealogical Society website:

SAINT PAUL'S CHAPEL CEMETERY
6271 Lincolnia Road (Route 613)
Lincolnia, Virginia USA

Original Information from Volume 5 of the Gravestone Books

Saint Paul’s Chapel Cemetery is located in a residential area at 6271 Lincolnia Road (Route 613). Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church originally stood on this lot, but is now located at 3439 Payne Street in the Bailey’s Crossroads area of the county. An old sidewalk runs from Lincolnia Road to the site where the church once stood. The cemetery is set back from the road and evidently was situated to the side and to the back of the church.

The cemetery is in fairly good condition. Many old trees stand around the lot and there are some dead trees, some stumps and a pile of logs at the back of the lot. A sidewalk runs along the side of the cemetery.

Saint Paul’s Chapel Cemetery was surveyed in 1973, 1987, 1988, 1997, and 1998. The graves are arranged in plots and recent surveyors arranged their report to reflect this. Some graves are marked with concrete blocks and there are many unmarked burials in the cemetery. The survey begins in the southeast corner of the cemetery and proceeds plot-by-plot toward the rear of the lot and then back toward Lincolnia Road.

No Updates from Volume 6 of the Gravestone Books

Part of the current cemetery is the original small cemetery attached to St Paul's Chapel, which stood on the site, but is now demolished. Since 2013, the cemetery has become a resting place for indigent and unclaimed bodies, buried at the expense of Fairfax County. Thus there are essentially two separate and dissimilar groups of people sharing this cemetery.
