| Comments: |
This cemetery is well cared for, and was delightfully colorful with forget-me-nots and daffodils in early April. Quite a pretty little cemetery. When driving to this cemetery, choose your route well, inquiring with locals before venturing down unfamiliar routes. Many nearby roads look to be fine for a passenger car travel by many published maps, they are better left for jeep travel. There are a number of unmarked graves here, and marked graves with stones so deteriorated and broken as to be unidentifiable. Others are no doubt buried in this cemetery - the list above includes only those graves with gravestones present per April 2003. If you know of anyone that should be included in this listing, please contact WVCPA. Additional
