[Richmond, Va. St. John's Church and graveyard from street]
LC-DIG-cwpb-02901
I was going back to this image again, and noticed a headstone for a local Mason at St. John's Church. The epitaph appears to read, "Sacred to the Memory of/ George ____".
I'm not sure if it's still there or not, but I could definitely check. Sad thing is that since the cemetery was private and then became municipal (dating all the way back to the 1700s) it has become pretty unorganized and not well kept (reason is ownership, city v. private). Thus, nothing is being done.
A church director told me a harrowing story of how they re-did the basement a few years ago, and human remains fell out of the wall after they knocked out the foundation. Ugh!
