Hi all, I need help in finding an old wharf that was around in 1915 . The place is named Olvenon Wharf, in VA. In June of 1915, my Great, Great Grandfather was taking a ferry from Washington DC back down to his home in Cople Parish in Westmoreland Co. VA. His name was Joseph Walter Herbert, born in the year1852, in Charles Co, Md. He moved to VA and was an Oysterman his whole life. He was a proud man, hard working and a loving husband, father and grandfather. He found out that he had cancer, and as it was 1915, there was little the doctors could do for him. So after a visit to his doctors in Washington DC on June 29 of that year, he was told that they could do no more for him, in pain, and dying, he jumped overboard and drowned in the water he loved so much. I am not sure if his body was ever found, but I do know that the place of burial is listed as Olvenon Wharf in VA. I have Googled the name and have no idea where this place is. Does anyone out there in the group have an idea, or know where to look to find it. Thanks for any and all help. And have a great 4th of July. Terri in VA.
