Hanger Family Cemetery Dutch Hollow in Augusta County, Virginia. This family burying ground is located on a hillside in a grove of trees, about a half mile from Route 670. It is on a farm presently owned by Mr. & Mrs. Casper Gilbert. According to local tradition, the land was originally owned and the brick house built by Frederick Hanger who fought in the American Revolution. The cemetery has been used by the families of Hanger, Lotts, Lucas, Koogler, Wiseman, Liptrap, Robertson, Thurston, Clinebill, Campbell, Hill, Callison, Fullwider, Fox, Kesterson and McKee. Route 670 and Route 662 runs from Middlebrook to Greenville. Thus, the cemetery may be approached from either village. The cemetery itself is in a delorable condition. The fence is down and the lot has been used as a pasture for livestock. Many of the tombstones have fallen from their bases and some are broken into pieces. A few were so deeply embedded in the ground, face-down, that we could not raise them. A few field stones had been placed as markers. These did not carry inscriptions, with the exception of one, which is noted below. In the center of the cemetery were three large headstones and three smaller footstones. These, I think, were of some form of stone native to the area. The inscriptions were very difficult to read and some of the letters must have been a form of German script. The Hanger headstone we were able to read, but not the footstone, which had much carving. Stars or hex (?) symbols covered the top. The two Fullwider stones were so deep in the ground we were able only to read the names. These, apparently, were the oldest stones in the cemetery. It was very interesting to note that some of the stones bore in the lower right-hand corner the name of the stonemason and his place of residence; E.G. A. Viquesney Summerdean, Va. W. and A.E. Smernick, also J.L. Cumb., MD. Also a A.H. Amick, Cumb., MD. On a few, Mr. Viquesney placed just his initials, A.V. These stones were beautifully carved and were obviously done by a master craftsman. We feel that many stones are completely buried beneath the soil and if the ground in this lot could be spaded, many stones would be turned up.
