The first land for the cemetery was purchased seven months later, on October 11, 1850, from Harrisonburg's first mayor, Isaac Hardesty, who sold 2½ acres to the cemetery company. It has continued to expand in size over the years, and the current grounds cover about 18 acres. Woodbine Cemetery contains roughly 11,550 burial plots with approximately 9,000 interred.","Soon after the Civil War, the cemetery created an area dedicated to Confederate soldiers and veterans. This section was originally maintained by the Ladies Memorial Association, founded in 1868 with the charge of caring for the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in Rockingham County. The Ladies Memorial Association erected a soldiers monument in 1876, and in 1899 with the aid of the Turner Ashby Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, replaced all wooden head boards with white marble stones. The section was expanded in 1886, when Samuel Shacklett donated a 5 acre-plot, containing land likely already in use as a Confederate cemetery. There are now over 200 Confederate soldier or veterans buried there, representing states of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee. The cemetery also contains area known as \"Little Arlington,\" dedicated to those who served in World War I and World War II. ","The Community Mausoleum was erected in 1926, though there are no records of incorporation until 1936, when it was incorporated as the \"Communal Mausoleum Crypt Owners, Inc.\" In February 2006, the mausoleum merged with Woodbine Cemetery Company.","According to a Woodbine Board of Trustees report dated April 2, 1853, the original cemetery contained plots designated for African Americans, stating, \"…in the rear plats have already been appropriated to single interments, and likewise for the use of colored persons.\" According to Nelson J. Liskey's, \"History of Woodbine Cemetery,\" in 1969, the board adopted a policy that \"no restrictions as to race would be applicable to lot purchasers.\" Certificates of Ownership of Communal Mausoleum Crypts at Woodbine Cemetery state that \"the crypts are for the entombment of the human dead of the Caucasian race only.\"","Superintendents of Woodbine Cemetery include, but are not limited to, the following individuals: John Foster (1851), J.P. Hyde (1863), J.E.

Barnhart Family History: Augusta County, Virginia, 1767-1967 . Staunton, Va.: McClure Printing Co., 1967.","The Barnharts of Augusta County, Virginia descended from German immigrant John George Barnhart (1748-1832), also referred to as George Barnhart I. George I first arrived in Philadelphia in 1767 and migrated to Virginia in 1778 where he married Catherine Myers (1756-1826). They originally took up residence in Shenandoah County, but moved to Augusta County by the early spring of 1790. They had four children including an only son, George Barnhart II (1778-1857).","George II married Polly Barnett (1785-1859) of Fairfield, Virginia. They went on to have four children including an eldest son, Gideon Barnhart (1814-1892) who married Martha Ann Weade (1825-1917) on March 13, 1845. Gideon was elected Captain of the 1st Battalion, 32nd., Regiment of Virginia in 1843 and held that position for seven years. At the outset of the Civil War, Gideon would likely have been too old to report for active duty. However, evidence suggests that Gideon was a private in Company A, 3rd. Battalion Valley Reserves and mustered in April 23, 1864. Gideon and Martha Barnhart had five children, four of whom lived into adulthood. Their son Henry George Barnhart (1860-1915) married Fannie Ann Gentry (1859-1917) and the couple went on to have seven children.","Materials relating to many of the aforementioned Barnharts and their children and grandchildren can be found in this collection.","The materials within this collection originally comprised part of lot 177 of Jeffrey Evans \u0026 Associates' November 12, 2016 Americana \u0026 Fine Antiques sale. Jeffrey Evans' provenance note indicates that the materials originated from a private Shenandoah Valley of Virginia collection.","This collection was originally housed in a photo album with most documents placed in Mylar sleeves. The materials were without a clear arrangement scheme. The archivist removed the documents from the album and imposed an artificial arrangement based on person or group of persons.","Barnhart family papers, 1832-1963, Accession #11264, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.","The Barnhart Family Papers, 1836-1944, are comprised of assorted documents chiefly relating to the Barnhart family of New Hope, Virginia in Augusta County, particularly George Barnhart II and his son Gideon Barnhart. Materials include correspondence, bills, receipts and invoices, deeds, and envelopes. The collection also includes many documents concerning the estate of George Barnhart II. There are also materials within this collection pertaining to persons not directly related to the Barnharts.","Papers relating to George Barnhart II chiefly comprise estate documents, specifically lists of property sold by the administrators of George II's estate in April 1857. Types of items sold from George II's estate include sundry household items, farm implements, and livestock. His widow Polly and son Gideon are listed as buyers of multiple items. There are several variations of the list of property sold, though they all appear to date to April 1857. Additional materials include receipts, financial accounts, and a deed between George II and Polly and their son Gideon for a tract of land on the south side of Round Hill.","Papers specifically relating to Polly Barnhart include financial and estate documents. Of particular interest is a document dated April 25, 1857 in which Polly Barnhart grants power of attorney to her son Gideon. In this role, Gideon was to attend to his mother's interests in the estate of the recently deceased Lydia Barnett, likely Polly's sister. Two documents relate to George II's estate. One document, written on behalf of her children, allows Polly to take whatever property she wants from her husband's estate. The second document, written on behalf of Polly, surrenders all but one fourth share in the estate. She elects to divide the estate with her three living children.","The Gideon Barnhart papers include financial documents and accounts, receipts, and correspondence. Included is an August 2, 1837 letter to Gideon from his cousin Nancy Cullen (1819-1910) in Holland Grove, Illinois. Earlier that year, Gideon spent time traveling back home from Illinois where he visited with his Uncle John P. Cullen and his family. Nancy's expresses pleasure that Gideon has arrived safely home. She provides updates on the happenings in Holland Grove. Of particular interest is a document that evidence suggests is a love letter from Gideon Barnhart to Martha Ann Weade. It is dated June 3, 1844 and was written less than one year before their marriage. The letter is only addressed \"Dear Miss,\" but within the body of the letter, the author, presumably Gideon, writes: \"[I] am pleading my own cause Miss Marth when I think of the pleasant hours I have spent with you I must conclude there is yet thousand more yet unspent.\" He goes on: \"I turn over one page and take the liberty of asking you whither my future visits will meet with your approbation not only as a parcial visitor but one who is trying to clime to the top of the top of the matrimonial chain. I do not wish to flatter you by saying to you your beautiful features and sparkling eyes rosey cheaks and prattling toung have left impressions uppon my mind.\" Lastly, this folder includes an April 17, 1857 document in which Gideon Barnhart purchases from the estate of George Barnhart a \"negro Man Nathan\" for the amount of $550.00. Several of Gideon's documents, including the love letter presumably penned by him to Martha Ann Weade, exhibit evidence of his signature having been clipped.","One folder contains documents relating to other Barnhart family members excluding George II, Polly, and Gideon. Materials include correspondence, financial documents, and empty envelopes. Persons featured in these documents William F. Cullen, son-in-law of George Barnhart I, Henry George Barnhart, Walter W. Barnhart, George Gray Barnhart, and Laura Ruth Barnhart.","Lastly, all other documents seemingly unrelated to the Barnhart Family are housed in one folder. These items include accounts between a Mr. Whitmore and Philadelphia merchants Schaffer \u0026 Roberts and Inskeep, Molten \u0026 Woodruff; a letter from W. H. Carrington to his uncle James Smallwood of South River in Augusta County; two letters penned by Francis Sigler of Indiana; a letter penned by Louisa D. Clagett; a family record outlining Clagett family marriages, births and deaths; and other miscellaneous papers and financial documents.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Materials include correspondence, bills, receipts and invoices, deeds, and envelopes. The collection also includes many documents concerning the estate of George Barnhart II. There are also materials within this collection pertaining to persons not directly related to the Barnharts.","Papers relating to George Barnhart II chiefly comprise estate documents, specifically lists of property sold by the administrators of George II's estate in April 1857. Types of items sold from George II's estate include sundry household items, farm implements, and livestock. His widow Polly and son Gideon are listed as buyers of multiple items. There are several variations of the list of property sold, though they all appear to date to April 1857. Additional materials include receipts, financial accounts, and a deed between George II and Polly and their son Gideon for a tract of land on the south side of Round Hill.","Papers specifically relating to Polly Barnhart include financial and estate documents. Of particular interest is a document dated April 25, 1857 in which Polly Barnhart grants power of attorney to her son Gideon. In this role, Gideon was to attend to his mother's interests in the estate of the recently deceased Lydia Barnett, likely Polly's sister. Two documents relate to George II's estate. One document, written on behalf of her children, allows Polly to take whatever property she wants from her husband's estate. The second document, written on behalf of Polly, surrenders all but one fourth share in the estate. She elects to divide the estate with her three living children.","The Gideon Barnhart papers include financial documents and accounts, receipts, and correspondence. Included is an August 2, 1837 letter to Gideon from his cousin Nancy Cullen (1819-1910) in Holland Grove, Illinois. Earlier that year, Gideon spent time traveling back home from Illinois where he visited with his Uncle John P. Cullen and his family. Nancy's expresses pleasure that Gideon has arrived safely home. She provides updates on the happenings in Holland Grove. Of particular interest is a document that evidence suggests is a love letter from Gideon Barnhart to Martha Ann Weade. It is dated June 3, 1844 and was written less than one year before their marriage. The letter is only addressed \"Dear Miss,\" but within the body of the letter, the author, presumably Gideon, writes: \"[I] am pleading my own cause Miss Marth when I think of the pleasant hours I have spent with you I must conclude there is yet thousand more yet unspent.\" He goes on: \"I turn over one page and take the liberty of asking you whither my future visits will meet with your approbation not only as a parcial visitor but one who is trying to clime to the top of the top of the matrimonial chain.

Barnhart Family History: Augusta County, Virginia, 1767-1967 . Staunton, Va.: McClure Printing Co., 1967.","The Barnharts of Augusta County, Virginia descended from German immigrant John George Barnhart (1748-1832), also referred to as George Barnhart I. George I first arrived in Philadelphia in 1767 and migrated to Virginia in 1778 where he married Catherine Myers (1756-1826). They originally took up residence in Shenandoah County, but moved to Augusta County by the early spring of 1790. They had four children including an only son, George Barnhart II (1778-1857).","George II married Polly Barnett (1785-1859) of Fairfield, Virginia. They went on to have four children including an eldest son, Gideon Barnhart (1814-1892) who married Martha Ann Weade (1825-1917) on March 13, 1845. Gideon was elected Captain of the 1st Battalion, 32nd., Regiment of Virginia in 1843 and held that position for seven years. At the outset of the Civil War, Gideon would likely have been too old to report for active duty. However, evidence suggests that Gideon was a private in Company A, 3rd. Battalion Valley Reserves and mustered in April 23, 1864. Gideon and Martha Barnhart had five children, four of whom lived into adulthood. Their son Henry George Barnhart (1860-1915) married Fannie Ann Gentry (1859-1917) and the couple went on to have seven children.","Materials relating to many of the aforementioned Barnharts and their children and grandchildren can be found in this collection.","The materials within this collection originally comprised part of lot 177 of Jeffrey Evans \u0026 Associates' November 12, 2016 Americana \u0026 Fine Antiques sale. Jeffrey Evans' provenance note indicates that the materials originated from a private Shenandoah Valley of Virginia collection.","This collection was originally housed in a photo album with most documents placed in Mylar sleeves. The materials were without a clear arrangement scheme. The archivist removed the documents from the album and imposed an artificial arrangement based on person or group of persons.","Barnhart family papers, 1832-1963, Accession #11264, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.","The Barnhart Family Papers, 1836-1944, are comprised of assorted documents chiefly relating to the Barnhart family of New Hope, Virginia in Augusta County, particularly George Barnhart II and his son Gideon Barnhart. Materials include correspondence, bills, receipts and invoices, deeds, and envelopes. The collection also includes many documents concerning the estate of George Barnhart II. There are also materials within this collection pertaining to persons not directly related to the Barnharts.","Papers relating to George Barnhart II chiefly comprise estate documents, specifically lists of property sold by the administrators of George II's estate in April 1857. Types of items sold from George II's estate include sundry household items, farm implements, and livestock. His widow Polly and son Gideon are listed as buyers of multiple items. There are several variations of the list of property sold, though they all appear to date to April 1857. Additional materials include receipts, financial accounts, and a deed between George II and Polly and their son Gideon for a tract of land on the south side of Round Hill.","Papers specifically relating to Polly Barnhart include financial and estate documents. Of particular interest is a document dated April 25, 1857 in which Polly Barnhart grants power of attorney to her son Gideon. In this role, Gideon was to attend to his mother's interests in the estate of the recently deceased Lydia Barnett, likely Polly's sister. Two documents relate to George II's estate. One document, written on behalf of her children, allows Polly to take whatever property she wants from her husband's estate. The second document, written on behalf of Polly, surrenders all but one fourth share in the estate. She elects to divide the estate with her three living children.","The Gideon Barnhart papers include financial documents and accounts, receipts, and correspondence. Included is an August 2, 1837 letter to Gideon from his cousin Nancy Cullen (1819-1910) in Holland Grove, Illinois. Earlier that year, Gideon spent time traveling back home from Illinois where he visited with his Uncle John P. Cullen and his family. Nancy's expresses pleasure that Gideon has arrived safely home. She provides updates on the happenings in Holland Grove. Of particular interest is a document that evidence suggests is a love letter from Gideon Barnhart to Martha Ann Weade. It is dated June 3, 1844 and was written less than one year before their marriage. The letter is only addressed \"Dear Miss,\" but within the body of the letter, the author, presumably Gideon, writes: \"[I] am pleading my own cause Miss Marth when I think of the pleasant hours I have spent with you I must conclude there is yet thousand more yet unspent.\" He goes on: \"I turn over one page and take the liberty of asking you whither my future visits will meet with your approbation not only as a parcial visitor but one who is trying to clime to the top of the top of the matrimonial chain. I do not wish to flatter you by saying to you your beautiful features and sparkling eyes rosey cheaks and prattling toung have left impressions uppon my mind.\" Lastly, this folder includes an April 17, 1857 document in which Gideon Barnhart purchases from the estate of George Barnhart a \"negro Man Nathan\" for the amount of $550.00. Several of Gideon's documents, including the love letter presumably penned by him to Martha Ann Weade, exhibit evidence of his signature having been clipped.","One folder contains documents relating to other Barnhart family members excluding George II, Polly, and Gideon. Materials include correspondence, financial documents, and empty envelopes. Persons featured in these documents William F. Cullen, son-in-law of George Barnhart I, Henry George Barnhart, Walter W. Barnhart, George Gray Barnhart, and Laura Ruth Barnhart.","Lastly, all other documents seemingly unrelated to the Barnhart Family are housed in one folder. These items include accounts between a Mr. Whitmore and Philadelphia merchants Schaffer \u0026 Roberts and Inskeep, Molten \u0026 Woodruff; a letter from W. H. Carrington to his uncle James Smallwood of South River in Augusta County; two letters penned by Francis Sigler of Indiana; a letter penned by Louisa D. Clagett; a family record outlining Clagett family marriages, births and deaths; and other miscellaneous papers and financial documents.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Their son Henry George Barnhart (1860-1915) married Fannie Ann Gentry (1859-1917) and the couple went on to have seven children.","Materials relating to many of the aforementioned Barnharts and their children and grandchildren can be found in this collection."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe materials within this collection originally comprised part of lot 177 of Jeffrey Evans \u0026amp; Associates' November 12, 2016 Americana \u0026amp; Fine Antiques sale.
