Litton Cemetery, Jackson Co., West VirginiaDates or text in Red are not inscribed on the tombstone and have either been calculated based on death date or are as a result of research on the individual.

WVCPA thanks faithful contributors Charlotte and Steve Iman for the photos and research for this page. They comment, regarding the cemetery as they found it in May 2010:

"The current owners of the property are Danny and Cathy Belcher, Mr. Belcher maintains the cemetery, via an agreement with Litton descendants.  Mr. Belcher states "approximately 30 years ago, employees hired to mow the cemetery removed many field stone markers, placed them in a pile, never to be replaced." Mr. Belcher was very helpful  locating the access path to the second Litton Cemetery near the same area. Due to the stones being removed it is impossible to determine the exact number of graves.  Monuments bearing information for 11 individuals were found"
