Plumley Cemetery
Lincoln County, West Virginia

Lat: 38° 12' 09"N, Lon: 82° 03' 16"W

Submitted by Lisa L. Luther, Feb 22, 2005 [charleywest@hotmail.com] Total records = 138.

In Griffithsville, take Sugar Tree Road beside Eden Baptist Church. You will come to a point where you can veer to the right onto Sycamore. On Sycamore, you will drive until you see the sign on the right for Big Laurel Creek Road. Take Big Laurel and drive until you see the hand painted Plumley Cemetery sign on the right.

You may park at the gate (which opens easily) or drive up the hill. I strongly suggest driving, because it is a long way up, and the road is kept nicely graveled for vehicles to pass.

The inscriptions listed here are as true as possible to the actual text on the headstones. All military markers will be noted with � at the end of entry.

I walked and read this cemetery in December of 2004.
