To reach cemetery in Amma from Big Sandy Creek Road turn south onto County Route 29/9 (Pigeon Run Rd) and continue for about 0.80 miles. The cemetery will be on the west or right side of the road. It is about .5 mile south of the community of Ford.

This reading is compiled mainly from pictures taken by me and compared with reading from Roane County, WV Cemetery Book Vol. I1.

Per WPA reading of Mar 26, 1940, this cemetery was established in 1888 or earlier as a community burial ground. Earliest stone dated 1888. Marked graves, 28, unmarked graves, 36.

I walked and transcribed this cemetery on Jun 08, 2008.
