Map showing location of Culpepper Cemetery.

This cemetery is located south of the Valley Lake at the power plant just north of Savoy. It is difficult to locate even with the GPS numbers. The "open area" beneath the powerlines on the satellite image is the worst section of passage...chest deep branbles and wild rose bushes. The wooded areas much easier. There is a rarely traveled and overgrown road bed from the paved road over to the utility "clearing".

Elizabeth's Grove aka Culpepper Cemetery


Elizabeth's Grove Cemetery

This cemetery was named after the death of Elizabeth Benton Culpepper daughter of James F. Benton and his first wife Mary Carrigan [Skillington?] Benton. Elizabeth was buried here next to her infants. Elizabeth's stone was located and photographed in August of 2008!

Many times you will find it listed as the Culpepper cemetery but it is most often called Elizabeth's Grove. It possibly contains over a hundred graves. Many stones are missing and damaged.
