Struder Family Cemetery

The Struder Family Cemetery is a small family plot next to Telegraph Road in the Alexandria section of Fairfax County, Virginia. In addition to the three known graves found in several records (Victor, Adelia, and Martha), there is an apparent base that suggests a possible fourth grave; I have called this Unknown Struder. There is also a badly worn footstone with no inscription visible; and a pair of corner markers are out of position. The Struder Family Cemetery is near the corner of Sharon Chapel Road and Telegraph Road. Other persons with the Struder surname are buried in the nearby cemetery at All Saints Sharon Chapel, an Episcopal parish. Another Struder is buried a few miles away at Mount Comfort Cemetery.

The cemetery is on the west side of the road at a bottom of a hill. A 10'x20' brick border has been installed around the three headstones and one marble corner marker and daffodils and annuals planted inside the border. A small family cemetery that is neglected. Somebody keeps up with the mowing but all of the 3 headstones are broken in half and there is a lot of weeds covering this little graveyard.

Here is a list of the three headstones still visible in the graveyard:
Struder, Adelia, b. Jun 22, 1842, d. Oct 11, 1911, w/o Victor
Struder, Martha Rosanna, b. Aug 8, 1860, d. Apr 2, 1899, d/o Victor and Adelia
Struder, Victor, b. Sep 8, 18??, d. Feb 28, 1906, (the headstone is broken in two with 50% of the stone is missing.)

Here follows an excerpt from Donald Hakenson's "This Forgotten Land" tour guide:
The Struder family came to Virginia from Switzerland in 1824.
