Fulks Run, Rockingham County, Virginia. From Fulks Run Grocery, go west on Highway 259 for 1 mile. At Valley Land store, turn left onto Highway 818 (Dry River Road). After crossing the bridge, continue on for about 4 miles until you pass Highway 631 and the old Ritchie Schoolhouse (small white frame schoolhouse) on the left. Slow down and start looking for the Scudder mailbox on the right. Turn right at the mailbox and go up the gravel drive until you come to the crest of the hill. There is an opening in the fence on the right. The cemetery is about 30 feet from the fence.
