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:

Litton Cemetery (on hill), Jackson Co., West Virginia"When visited in 2010, 62 graves were identified, information was retrieved for approximately 34 individuals. The cemetery appeared to be receiving care, but may have suffered a period of  neglect. Approximately 27 graves were marked with rectangular building blocks, one fieldstones was found.

Note:  Two spelling variations were used, most used "Litton", but "Lytton" was also used."
