Sims White, 1860-1886, Found On A Walk

Most likely an old monument rather than a headstone.

The church here was abandoned during the US Civil War (1860’s), services were moved to the remote Strawberry Chapel Of Ease and away from the advancing Federal Army.

It was never opened again and burned in a fire. Parts of the ruins were scavenged for building materials which were not available after the war.
