Talk:Ivy Hill Cemetery (Alexandria, Virginia)

Watch out for namesakes!
The article claimed that "railway magnate" Benjamin Franklin Stringfellow was buried in the cemetary. That is unlikely. Benjamin Franklin Stringfellow (1816-1891), the railway tycoon, lived in Kansas and Missouri -- not Virginia. Benjamin Franklin Stringfellow (1840-1913), the infamous Confederate spy, lived in Virgina, and is buried in this cemetary, according to this reference.

Frank and Emma are buried side-by-side in the Ivy Hill cemetery in Alexandria.]

Wernher von Braun bio line in Ivy Hill Cemetery (Alexandria, Virginia)
It seems like there should be a way to extend von Braun's bio blurb to mention his Nazi connections a bit more to maybe help avoid the on-going edit/revision cycle and be more accurate and encyclopedic. Stringfellow, above, currently has "infamous Confederate spy", so it seems like there is room for some judgement/more description here. Skynxnex (talk) 14:22, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
