Comments:

There are a number of unmarked graves in this cemetery, also known by some as "Phillips Cemetery".

This cemetery is in the process of being "rescued" and restored.  Contact WVCPA if you would like to help in this effort, and we will get you in contact with the coordinator of this rescue project, Terry McCallister.

Note from Terry (dated Jan. 27, 2004):

"My Uncle Fred was retired but had been the filling in as Pastor for the Judson Baptist Church until they found someone. He has a uncle buried there but there is no road to it. Well he started working with the people that own land beside the church to get a right of way to make a road to the cemetery. Well that all has been done but it still has to be surveyed and then find someone with a dozer to do the work. Once we get a road to it we plan on getting a team together and clean it up and keep it that way. I walked up to it just this past Sunday to check out a name and it's a good little walk up a hill and thru the woods."
