These are nine graves that I had found over thirty years ago when I was walking in the area. I have included them here in the hopes that they will be of interest to someone. These graves are among the trees in a group at the corner of Willowood Drive and Coburn Crescent, in Norfolk Virginia. Willowood Drive is off of Tidewater Drive. I remember thinking at the time it was odd that the graves were there. At the present time there are residental neighborhoods on eith side of the graves. At one time the headstones may have been upright but they are all lying flat on the ground. Below are pictures of the graves I found and what I could make out on the stones. Click on the headstone for a larger view.

Hope these prove useful to someone. My next project is The St. Mary's Catholic Cemetary in Norfolk
Virginia. I have already begun the task of gathering pictures of every grave.
