Noticed this posting (below) a few days ago and wondered if there is more written in an early history of the county about the epidemic when so many died and were buried in unmarked or mass graves. My ancestor, John Frederick Snyder, lived in Grandview Township and died in 1850 of cholera. So far I've not been able to determine what cemetery he was buried in -- could it be possible some bodies were wrapped and dropped in the river? I was told that was what happened before I learned that he had actually arrived in Louisa County and was living there. I really would like to be able to find out what happened to him. Thanks for everyone's help. Mary Hart Subject: Re: Mallory Cemetery >there were a bunch of people buried there in a mass grave due to an epidemic of some kind and those names are not known.
