The existing settlement now consists of only one house and this cemetery located about a quarter of a mile away. There are no other houses, farms, structures, or roads within miles of this area. Her gravestone is a small sloped monument of rose and black streaked marble approximately 18" by 18". The inscription reads "Mother, Virginia Chapman, 1873-1941". It was in remarkably good shape and easily readable as of September 2002.
