Subject: Eli Janney - Where is He Buried?

Eli Hamilton Janney, a former Confederate Major, patented the Janney Automatic Coupler in 1873.  He had a distant relative, Edward J. Janney, who worked in train service (Roanoke District of Shenandoah Division) from the 1940s to the 1970s.  (This is my way of getting around the List Moderator when I ask a question that isn't "strictly related" to the N&W <smile>.) 

Janey was born in 1831 in Loudon County, Virginia, and died in Alexandria in 1912.  I checked www.findagrave.com but he is not cataloged there.  Has anyone located his tomb and found, perhaps, an inscription related to his great invention?
