This is the cemetery of Kempsville Amish-Mennonite Church.   The Overholt family who owned the farm in that area were a member of the church.   For most of the 20th century, this congregation met in a meeting house on S. Parliament Drive, around the corner from the cemetery.  The building still stands and is currently occupied by a Byzantine Catholic Church.  Kempsville Mennonite Church is now located in a new facility out on North Landing Road.  They still use the cemetery.  David B. Keim

Virginia Beach, formerly Princess Anne Co, VA:  The cemetery is located in Point-O-View neighborhood on the northeast corner of the cul-de-sac at Ambassador Drive and Executive Boulevard.  To reach the cemetery location from the intersection of Kempsville & Princess Anne Road, travel west on Princess Anne Road to South Parliament.  Turn right at the Eckerds Drug Store onto South Parliament.  Proceed until you reach the well marked entrance to Point-O-View on the right hand side of the road.  Enter the subdivision.  The above cul-de-sac will be at the end of the street.  The neighborhood was built on the site of a Mennonite Farm owned by the Overholt Family.  Cemetery Photographed September 12, 2004
