| Comments: | 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. WVCPA thanks contributor Lydia Work for information and photos for this cemetery. She writes: "Most of the stones were dated in the 1800’s with the oldest being my ancestor Nicholas Frankhouser who died in 1857. He served in the Revolutionary War. The pictures provided were taken by me and my brother Wallace Shaffer on Dec 27, 2008." A full transcription and photo series of this cemetery is still needed. If you are willing and able to help, please contact WVCPA! |
