Duvall Cemetery
The Duvall family cemetery is visible from Wildlife Loop (formerly Trainfire Rd.) on the east side of the Loop just north of Duvall Bridge Rd. A huge evergreen tree stands inside the fence and the site seems to be on a natural ridge overlooking the road. On the 1922 Ft. Meade map the road lies much closer to the cemetery than the current paved Loop. There are only three graves marked with engraved stones here plus at least three fieldstone markers. The size of the enclosure indicates again that many stones are missing. Other than owning the mill nearby that was later sold to L.P. Griffith we have little information on the family.
