Comments:

Dates or information in Red type from research on the individual, dates based on age at death as indicated on the tombstone.

Large cemetery that has yet to be fully photo-documented. Present photos graciously contributed by Lois Downour. Additional photos will be added when available. This cemetery is recorded in "Mason County, West Virginia Cemetery Inscriptions", Copyright 1989, The Meigs County Pioneer and Historical Society, 1989, of Pomeroy, Ohio 45769.

When the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. built at Apple Grove, a number of graves were moved to the Beale Chapel cemetery. Those known to have been moved are printed in blue text above. The latest complete reading was done in 1969, and while updates have been done in the 1980's, many graves may have been missed that were older than the 1980's, and of course any burials of the last 20 years have likely been omitted. If you know of any burials that should be listed for this cemetery, including those among the many unmarked graves, please contact WVCPA with the details and we'll post it here.

Photos of tombstones are needed from this cemetery - particularly of the older tombstones. Contact WVCPA if you have photos that we can post here.
