Here are a few photos of the Airmount Cemetery, which is on land originally
owned by J. M. Strain.

Closer to the center of the Cemetery are the Strain monuments. The large center one is Varina Davis Strain Shannon, and her two sons. |

Adjacent to the Infant Strain monument are two older Robinsons. This is Luke Robinson. |

Matilda Robinson, wife of Luke. I strongly suspect that Luke and Matilda Robinson are Caroline C. Robinson Strain's parents. |

David Murphree and his wife's burial location. This is the earliest grave, 1838, apparently. There is no relation to the Strains |
