Cogar Cemetery
Desert, Webster County, West Virginia

Lat: 38° 35' 41"N, Lon: 80° 21' 35"W

Contributed by Zelma Fisher, Oct 15, 2005 [zelfish65@yahoo.com]. Total records = 61.

From route 20, between Diana and Hodam Mt. Turn onto the Holly River Rd. (Jumbo) go 8/10 of a mile, do not cross bridge at church, go on upper dirt road. Go 3-3/10 miles turn right and go another 2/10 mile then turn left, cemetery ahead.

I did not find out who owns and maintains this cemetery. The cemetery is well kept and is still in use.

Terry and Zelma Fisher took this information on Oct 10, 2005, by walking the cemetery. It includes all existing and legible stones to that date.
