Note on bottom of document dated 1977: "Tombstone inscriptions copied by Esplin & Mary Gibbs, 24 Oct. 1977."
This got me curious as I believe every cemetery should have a name. So, I did some research and although I never did discover the name of this little cemetery, I did find out a few facts of interest. Annie Carter Lee was sickly and was staying at the White Sulphur Springs Hotel/Spa, near Warrenton, when she died. Unable to pass the body through Union lines to her family, it was decided to bury her in North Carolina. "Annie was originally buried near Warrenton, North Carolina but, in 1994, her remains were moved to lie with her family members in the Lee Chapel and Museum in Lexington, Virginia."

If anyone can provide the name of the cemetery where Anne Lee was first buried, please contact me.
