Add PhotosThe Elgin family was buried just behind one of the early homes and the stones remained there as long as the land stayed in the family.
When Howard Elgin, the last Elgin owner, died in 1945, he instructed his wife to sell the farm. The family that moved in did not like the cemetery just out their kitchen window, so the stones were removed and dumped in a cornfield on the property. That is the condition they were in when I first saw them.
Thanks to William Vernon Ford, another descendent, the stones were removed to Union Cemetery in Leesburg. Only the stones were moved.
Please note, this cemetery is now on private land. Those that desecrated the cemetery are long gone. There is no access to the house or cemetery.
Located on Kingdom Farm
