Wagon Shed-Virginia-Edinburg
Transportation facilities-Virginia-Edinburg
This photograph shows a portion of the "wagonner shed" that was located along the Valley Turnpike (US Route 11) in Edinburg Virginia.
The shed was used by crews operating freight wagons on the Valley Turnpike. These wagons carried produce and other local export items to ports and larger markets, typically Alexandria or Baltimore.
This shed was a stopping point where crews could rest themselves and their teams over night. During the Civil War it was used to house Federal Troops.
The structure was originally located in front of the house located at 211 S. Main Street in Edinburg. At the time of its construction, this property was owned by Phillip Grandstaff whose children Mary and Press lived in the house that still stands on the site. Later the shed was moved to the rear of the house which now houses Edinburg Trucks Hobby Shop and no longer stands.

Carroll Burner and Unidentified Man
Burner, Carroll Calvin (1927-2013)
Sailors - United States - Virginia - Shenandoah County
Photograph of Carroll C. Burner, left, wearing a U.S. Navy Aviation Machinist Mate's uniform, and seated beside an unidentified man.
Carroll Burner served in the US Marine Corps and in the United States Navy as an Aviation Machinist Mate.
He was the son of Azariah “Asa” Weston (1896-1987) and Effie A. (Nicholson) (1901-1985) Burner. When he registered for the WWII draft, he worked for Frank Dinges in his Orchard in Edinburg.
In January 1949 Carroll married Anna Catherine Barb in Hagerstown, Maryland. In the 1950 census, Carroll was listed as “Separated” and was living with his family on West Spring Street in Woodstock. The couple must have resolved their issues because they were living together in Basye, in 1952, when their toddler, Deborah Louise, died of Leukemia. In 1964, when they divorced, both were living in Mt. Jackson.
Carroll was a member of The Lord's Chapel Church in Edinburg and worked a self-employed painter for many years.
