"They raised a large family, five sons and six daughters... and in the family cemetery the names of all the family but two are found, although some of them died in distant states."
In his WPA report, Mr. Carter describes the scene at Mountain View; "The location of this house suggests its name. This farm contains six hundred acres of land and a large area of gradually to the banks of Bull Run, and from its crest in the evening or early morning, one gets a view of the Blu Ridge Mountains, so gorgeious, that once seen, is never to be forgotten."
Today the cemetery lies in the woods just east of the first tee of the golf course. The six gravestones and six footstones are surrounded by the remains of a stone wall. The ground inside the outside of the wall is covered with a thick carpet of periwinkle. Many depressions, indicating the presence of unmarked burials, can be discerned throught e periwinkle. A few fieldstones can be seen around the site. The cemetery was surveyed in 1940, circa 1940, 1968, 1983, and 1996.
The 1940 surveyor noted, "This is a large burying ground, but many of the stones have been carried away and put to other uses, and many of those that remain are too broken to read the inscription." some of the beautiful marble headstones in the cemetery are decorated with a weeping willow motif. These gravestones are of the same design as those found in the Ball Family Cemetery which is associated with "Old Portici" in Prince William County, Virginia, according to information in the cemetery file in the Virginia Room, Fairfax City Regional Library.
