Windsor East Griffin St Cemetery

Windsor ~East Griffin St~ Cemetery

Visited by Members of the

Grave Site Survey Task Force (GSSTF)

Under the Auspices of

Isle of Wight County Historical Society (IWCHS)

April 4, 2004

This cemetery is located within the town limits of Windsor, VA on E. Griffin St. It is immaculately maintained and surrounded by a chain link fence. Team members were careful not to disturb the tombstones and artifacts. In some few cases, where the inscriptions were not readily discernible, a selection of shaving foam, water, or talcum powder was used to highlight and make legible the inscriptions; afterwards, a clean water spray was used to remove any residue.

The letters in the, “Sec. #” columns refer to the section that the tombstone and grave is located while the numbers within the, “( )” refer to a note about that entry. Any text within the “[ ]” is a comment about the tombstone inscription, ex., [fs] indicates a footstone inscription. Figures 1 and 2 are panoramic views of the cemetery. Figure 3 depicts the cemetery layout. Throughout the transcribing process, an attempt was made to preserve the, ‘look and feel’ of the original inscriptions as regards word spacing, arrangement, and possible misspellings.
