Other information
A daughter of the one of the first settlers of
Tyler County, West Virginia is buried here along with her husband. My
father went to school in a one room school house right by this cemetery
and remembers many graves. Some years ago someone timbered here and
destroyed it. Only a few graves remain that I can locate. A few years
ago with the help of my parents and my husband we stood 3 of the grave
markers back up after digging them out of debris.
