A Lost Cemetery
of Westmoreland Virginia

Several weeks ago, Mr. Morris, who resides at “Flamstead Hill” at Potomac Mills, discovered a grave at the north corner of the fall of his garden, which revealed a part of a skeleton which hade been placed there perhaps several hundred years ago.  The teeth which we saw were perfectly beautiful, seemed to be in a perfect state of preservation.  The grave was cased with brick, the masonry indicating the work of a skilled mason.  Evidently the person interred must have been one of wealth and distinction.  Can Dr. G. W. Beale tell us who the party may have been!  Mr. Morris informed us today that there is still another grave located on the same line with the former.  But his mother does not propose to allow it to be disturbed, as a few nights after the first was opened she saw, shortly after retiring to her room at night, a bright light blazing in the arch, which there had been no fire for months.  She was thereby reminded that perhaps the one disturbed was about to give her a reprimand for advising that the grave be opened.
