Comments: |
In "Mason County, West Virginia Cemetery Inscriptions", this cemetery's roster is split between the "Promise Land Church Cemetery" and the "Sayre Cemetery", though no separation physically is seen today. Therefore, the rosters are combined here under the name of Promised Land Church Cemetery. Per the 1969 reading there were at least 15 unmarked, unidentified graves. |
