WVCPA volunteer Alice Click has provided the latest access conditions for getting to this cemetery, based her trip there the Spring of 2007. She also provided some of the photos on this page. WVCPA staff subsequently visited the cemetery near the Memorial Day holiday, and were pleased to find it very well-cared for and in good order. Our compliments to the King family members or friends that are tending to this cemetery! King family descendant Franklin King is hoping to get the funds together, as well as the manpower, since his strength is not what it used to be, to get a fence erected around this cemetery and do some modest restoration work to help this cemetery last at least another 100 years. If you're interested in lending a helping hand in some way, shape or form, please contact WVCPA and we'll put you in touch with Franklin. << Click on photos to enlarge - in lower
