Carter & Louisa Braxton, Washington, DC early 1900's

I'm looking for descendents of Carter B Braxton, born Dec 1864 in VA (1900 US Census), he was a carpenter/builder, don't know when or where he died ...

and Louisa Lindsey, born Jan 1866 (or 1865) in Culpepper, VA, died April 18, buried April 21 1916 in Washington, DC.

They married about 1891.

A daughter Ruth was born about 1892, but apparently died before 1910. Another daughter, "Nola" or "Neola" or "Aeola" or ??? was born about 1902 in DC. Son Carter B Braxton was born about 1904 in DC. On the 1910 US Census, Kit Lindsey is listed as father-in-law of Carter.

I find no indication of the family on the 1920 or 1930 Census, anywhere in the country.

I am especially interested to find out more about Louisa Braxton. She was an officer in an organization called the "United Order of Tents". Louisa was originally buried in the "Columbian Harmony Cemetery" in Washington, DC. The cemetery was moved to Landover, MD, in 1960, but there is no listing for Louisa or (as I remember) any Braxton there.

It's possible family moved her somewhere else before the cemetery was moved. I would like to know where she is buried.

Thank you for any help.
