LocationFulks Run, Rockingham County, Virginia. From Fulks Run Grocery on Route 259 turn south onto Route 612 (Hopkins Gap Road). After about 1-1/2 mile, turn right onto Route 972 (Millertown Road). When the road ends, there are three driveways. Take the middle driveway. The cemetery is surrounded by a white board fence about 300 feet to the left of the house.
NotesIn 1967 J. Robert Swank noted "A large single stone (14 names) has been placed on the plot. There are no dates on stone. The plot is fenced and maintained." In 1999 Patricia Turner Ritchie in her book gives history of the Hess family and notes "Orinda Hess also has a stone in Mt. Grove Church of the Brethren cemetery. Abraham F. Hess & his wife Dora Hoover Hess are also buried at Mt. Grove Church of the Brethren."
