Woodyard Family Cemetery

Here follows an excerpt from the Fairfax Genealogical Society website:

WOODYARD FAMILY CEMETERY
Near 11727 and 11732 Amkin Drive
Clifton, Virginia USA

Original Information from Volume 2 of the Gravestone Books

This cemetery is on Amkin Drive, just off Clifton Road (Route 645), near 11727 and 11732 Amkin Drive in the Plantation Hills area of Clifton. The drive divides to go around this small, overgrown cemetery.

A wooden picket fence, about 34 feet by 34 feet, surrounds the cemetery with an older barbed wire fence inside. There are at least 12 burials, some marked with fieldstones. The cemetery is overgrown, with fallen trees and trash littering the site, although there are new supports at the corners of the picket fence.

A cemetery marker peaks over the fence at one corner. The inscription, which includes a sketch of a dog, is inscribed on a wooden board supported by metal posts.
