Phelps Cemetery in woods off of
Mercury Drive, Washington County, Virginia
This obscure cemetery, tucked away in some woods well
back from any road is the final resting place of John Phelps, father of
Ida Frances Phelps Branch. To get to this cemetery, go past the
Phelps cemetery listed above and turn right into a stone gated Mercury
Drive. Follow this gravel road until it turns into hardtop and on to
the top of the hill where there is a double wide trailer and another house
beyond at the dead end. The cemetery is downhill and to the right of
the double wide trailer, well hidden in some woods.
