Piney Grove Church Cemetery

Virginia Beach, VA
(formerly Princess Anne County)

The cemetery sits across Holland Road from Piney Grove Church.  There appears to be two distinctly different sections of the cemetery and this enumerator is not certain if they are connected.  The section pictured above has scattered marked graves.  Some of the tombstones are in deteriorated and unkept condition.  The other section sits just to the south of this section and is a well kept and populated cemetery.  Cemetery Photographed September 5, 2004.
