Can You Identify This Lewis Mundy?

Hi,

Last year one of my staff found a lone grave in a very secluded area of the campus where we work in
Madison Heights, Virginia (near Lynchburg) at the Central Virginia Training Center.  ...When you look
at the picture of the headstone, the writing took us a while to interpret, but it says:

IN
MEMORY
OF
LEWIS MUNDY
WHO DIED FE
B. 4 TH 1856
AGE 30 Yrs

I have contacted the historian at our institution who is in charge of maintaining the cemetery records
and she said there is no record of this person, but she is doing some research for me.  The grave
(1858) predates the opening of the institution (1911) by over 50 years, however, so I am not surprised
there are not campus records.  Hardly anyone on grounds was aware of the existence of this grave, so
I am trying to see why it is here by itself in such an unusual place....

We were trying to locate any information about this person.  I was wondering whether your family
was related and/or whether family members knew of the existence of this grave.  I have located several
Mundys in the local telephone book and will try to contact them as well.  Thank you.
