Wainwright - Polk - Peters Graveyard

(Capitola, Maryland, Tyaskin District #3)

This cemetery is located along the north side of Capitola Road in the Tyaskin District, approximately 1/2 mile east of Clara Road. Burial vaults are at surface with tops above ground, a situation often found in areas with high water tables. Although the cemetery is obviously maintained, not all graves have identifying markers. Some at the edge of the adjacent woods could not be read without venturing into poison ivy. Sorry, we weren't that ventursome. Recorded August 4, 1998 by Ralph Willing and Paul Willing.
