Hopewell Cemetery
Belleville, Wood County, West Virginia

Contributed by Teresa Fordyce, Aug 12, 2003, up dated Jul 16, 2007 [s82c43@verizon.net]. Total records = 251.

Take Rt. 68 South out of Lubeck. Cemetery will be on the right side of the road at the junction of Rt. 68 and Pine Run Road (CR# 9/12).

This is an active and well maintained cemetery owned by the Hopewell Church of Christ.

This is a complete reading of all existing headstones from when I walked and transcribed this cemetery on Aug 10, 2003.
