This cemetery is located on the fringe of the
McClintic Wildlife Management Area.
Directions to the cemetery are difficult because not all maps use the same
names for roads in this area. If traveling from Letart, WV. Turn onto
Sandhill Road (CR-15), travel 4.8 miles to Peneil Road (a.k.a. Sassafras
Rd.). Turn right on Peniel Road and travel 2.1 miles to Potters Creek Road
(a.k.a.. Chattin Lane) . Turn left on Potters Creek Road and travel 3.2
miles. The access path is across the road from the current McClintic Shooting
Range. The path eventually leads to Pond 34. To find the cemetery, travel
the path leading to Pond 34 for approximately 500', then turn right, maneuver
through the woods to the top of the hill.

This cemetery was visited by WVCPA contributor,
Charlotte Iman and her husband Steve, in January 2008, and she graciously provided the photos on this
page. She noted:
"The Cemetery appears to have
been abandoned for many years. Four graves were identifiable. Three were
marked with field stones, one inscribed, badly weathered monument was
found."
