About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery was surveyed in 1937 as part of the Works Progress Administration of Virginia Historical Inventory (WPA). The survey and research was made by Mattie Meadows, Chatham, Virginia on April 14, 1937.

The cemetery location is given as 5 miles northeast of Java Post Office, Virginia, on Route #702. The graveyard is on the south side of the road. Pittsylvania Co., Virginia.

The 1937 description:
This graveyard is at the home of Mr. G. W. Farson, but was originally the home of Captain Willis Glass. It is located on the east of the little village of Riceville, Virginia, on Route #702. It is a short distance from the house, and is enclosed with an iron fence. It has been well kept and is in excellent condition. The cedar trees and boxwood are kept nicely trimmed, and no undergrowth is found in the graveyard.

This survey is available on the Library of Virginia website. It includes a Pittsylvania County Map location for cemeteries included in the survey. Glass Cemetery is listed as Map No. 28.

The map location is approximate, based on the WPA survey map.
