Red Hill United Methodist Cemetery
Red Hill, Wood County, West Virginia

Lat: 39° 14' 54"N, Lon: 81° 28' 24"W

Contributed by Teresa Fordyce, May 08, 2003, last edited Jul 18, 2007 [s82c43@verizon.net]. Total records = 289.

Take Rt. 50 East out of Parkersburg for about 2.5 miles to the Red Hill/Dutch Ridge exit. Turn left onto Red Hill Road and go to the top of the hill. Turn right at the intersection at the top of the hill. The road to the church will be on your left. The sign for the Red Hill United Methodist Church marks the entrance. Follow this road around the hill to the left. The Church and Cemetery are at the top of the hill.

This Cemetery is owned and maintained by the Red Hill United Methodist Church. Some of the stones are very old and weather worn, making them difficult to read. Several are broken and/or have fallen over. Complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Please verify the dates with other sources.

This is a complete reading of all existing headstones when I walked and transcribed this cemetery in May 7, 2003.
