Ivy Hill Cemetery (Alexandria, Virginia)
Ivy Hill Cemetery is a cemetery in the Rosemont Historic District of Alexandria, Virginia, United States. Burials began at the site in 1811, when it was a family cemetery, and it received a charter as a community cemetery in 1856.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ivyhill.org )〕 The adjoining residential neighborhood was developed beginning in 1908 as a streetcar suburb of Washington, D.C., as trolley lines of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway extended from Alexandria's nearby Union Station (opened 1905).〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDf )〕 The cemetery is now also known for its rare and protected flora and fauna.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ivy Hill Cemetery Historical Preservation Society – Alexandria, VA 22301 – Visit Alexandria, Virginia )〕
Descendants of the Washington family, Thomas Jefferson, Bryan Fairfax, 8th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and Richard Bland Lee are buried at this cemetery, as are railroad magnates Fairfax Harrison and Benjamin Franklin Stringfellow. Other notable graves include those of the former WWII German National Socialist aeronautical pioneer Wernher von Braun, judge Albert Vickers Bryan, and congressmen John Critcher and Charles Creighton Carlin. Critcher's daughter, the painter Catharine Carter Critcher, is buried here as well, in the family plot.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ivyhill.org )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Find A Grave – Ivy Hill Cemetery )〕
