From Shepherdstown, from the intersection of State Road 230 and Flowing Springs Road. go south 3 miles on Flowing Springs Road until you see two churches on the west side of the road.
This is a small Presbyterian Church cemetery that is well taken care of. The earliest burials taken place in the late 1830's/early 1840's with the last burial taking place in 1978. Some of the headstones are worn and faded so I have a hard time reading them.
I walked Elk Branch Cemetery on Jul 16, 2003.
