Pleasant Valley Cemetery
The Cemetery is at the very top of the picture in the center. It has a blue dot in the rectangle.

Pleasant Valley Church
The Church is the first white rectangle to the south-southeast of the cemetery.

George Victor Wanstreet & Gladys Spurgeon Wanstreet & Isabelle Wanstreet home
is not clearly marked.
If you will look at the second white rectangle just below the first,
and go directly left across the road, that is basically where they lived.
There is a black line which is a steam that is too high to go over in the springtime.
If you keep going on the road which veers to the left and goes a way,
this is where, I believe, the Spurgeon's lived.


 


From a Cemetery Book - I don't know which one - it is in the library at Fairfax, Virginia
