Hi, Casey: With regard to your note about Cedar Hill Cemetery, I thought you would like to know a little something about the place. Cedar Hill is still a very active cemetery. Rarely do I go there without seeing a new grave. My parents are buried there. It is a rather old cemetery, but has always been kept in pretty good shape. The cemetery got new owners a few years ago, and they have done a great job of sprucing the place up. Even though there are many grave markers with dates in the late-1800s, it's amazingly well-kept. They also constructed a new funeral home on the grounds about a year ago, and they completed a new mausoleum a while back. The cemetery is loaded with beautiful, old trees and rolling hills everywhere--thus, the name "Cedar Hill." It is located on the Maryland side of the DC/Maryland line in Prince George's County. Since you don't live in the DC area, I'm sure the people who run Cedar Hill would be able to give you information regarding your family and, possibly, would take a photograph of a particular grave marker for you. The address is Cedar Hill Cemetery, 4111 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suitland, Maryland, 20746 and the telephone number is 301-568-5400. If you make the trip to Maryland, be sure to visit the cemetery during working hours. It is a HUGE cemetery. I have dealt with the staff on both personal and genealogical issues, and they have always treated me very kindly. They have maps of each section of the cemetery and will mark the location of the specific graves for you so they will be easier to find. The last time I had the occasion to check, information regarding the older graves were not computerized. However, the staff allowed me to look at their old record books and helped me find the information I was seeking. Two of the graves I was looking for were unmarked. They offered to ask a groundskeeper to mark those graves with red flags, but told me that it would take a couple of days to accomplish that. I went back two days later, went to the section they identified for me earlier and found the red flags in place. Although some may disagree with me, I have always felt safe at Cedar Hill and go there alone a couple of times a month. It is bordered by a major thoroughfare (Pennsylvania Avenue/Route 4) at the main entrance and by another popular roadway (Suitland Road) on the back side of the property. You should have no problems whatsoever. I hope this information helps you. Joann Ellis Humphries JoannEllis@aol.com
