Lorie Bradshaw sent this photo (taken for her by Sandra Blake of New Kent County, VA) of the current overgrown condition of the Chandler Cemetery at Laurel Springs in New Kent County, VA. Although her grave is unmarked, according to the diary of Anne Cooke, a Chandler descendant living in the 1800’s, Lorie’s 3rd Great Grandmother Mary Anne Eliza Chandler (maiden name unknown), wife of William Chandler, is buried there.
Capt. Joshua L. Chandler, Chincoteague Island, Virginia
W. W. “Bill” Chandler provided these photos of the Capt. Chandler Cemetery, spotted on Chincoteague Island, Virginia. The marker is for Capt. Joshua L. Chandler and gives a birth date of October 1829 and death death of October 21, 1877.
According to the GHOTES (Genealogy & Historie Of The Eastern Shore) of Virginia web site:
“This is the only grave in the Chandler Cemetery, it is located at the extreme North end of Main Street at a place commonly known as ‘The Turntable.’ The inscription is memorized by nearly all Chincoteaguers.” It reads:
Farewell wife and children dear
I am not dead but sleeping here
As I am, someday you will be
Prepare for death and follow me
