Trumble Family Cemetery

An examination of those named on a single granite marker within a 20'x20' chain-linked fence.  The Trumble Family Cemetery is comprised of just one marker with the names of ten people.  Vance Trumble came to Fairfac County with his parents from New York at a young age.  They were part of the large migration of northern farmers into many parts of Virginia bringign with them new techniques for cultivation after heavy and continuous tobacco harvesting had drained the soil.  The cemetery is located in the woods behind Parkwood Baptist Church in Annandale, Virginia.  It is in good shape and maintained by Boy Scout Troop 1523.  Perhaps the biggest piece of history during their lives was the Civil War, which Vance Trumble fought in as a confederate soldier.
