Lat: 38° 44' 52"N, Lon: 80° 24' 15"W

Contributed by Zelma Fisher, Jan 21, 2007 [zelfish65@yahoo.com]. Total records = 12.

This cemetery is located in Lewis Co. off of Rte 20, Just north of the Webster Co. line, turn onto Warden Lane road. Go approx. 1-1/2 miles cemetery located at top of hill, right side of road.

It looks like this cemetery is not taken care of as the fence is down and weeds are grown up among the graves. There are 14 unmarked graves.

Terry Fisher and I walked this cemetery and transcribed it in the fall of 2006.
