Dates 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.

It is impossible to know the names of all who were buried here.  It is known that Joseph & Isabella Harrison were buried here in the early 1800's, a time when many graves were simply marked with fieldstones.  In recent recorded history, the only tombstones that were located here were those of George Edwards and Joseph & Isabella Harrison. Many of the Harrison family listed above are assumed buried here, as no other record of their burial locations have been found, and the fact that their immediate family was living very close to this cemetery that already contained the remains of other family members when they died.

WVCPA and others have done extensive research to try and locate the original location of this cemetery and identify the names of those interred there, and little concrete information has surfaced to date. There are some indications that this cemetery may actually have been a Harrison family cemetery due to its location, though it is apparent through the Edwards burial here that it was not exclusively Harrison descendants buried there. 

Any information or photographs you may have of this cemetery to contribute to WVCPA will be greatly appreciated. As there are no records of disinterment of the bodies when the mine was established in the late 60's-early 70's, and no stones remain for memorializing these individuals through replacement in nearby cemeteries, this web page is the only existing memorial to them at this time.  WVCPA hopes to one day place tombstones in memory of George Edwards and Joseph & Isabella Harrison at the nearby Warner Chapel Cemetery where Joseph & Isabella's children and grandchildren are buried. As others are identified as having been buried at Elmwood, appropriate memorials will be considered for them as well in cooperation with their descendants.
