Condition of cemetery**:	Good (October 2007)
Accessibility:	The cemetery is located near Harvey Chapel Church on Ten Mile Creek. This cemetery is hard to find, so follow these instructions well, and be prepared to ask directions if need be! Take 10 Mile Road in, and turn at Harvey Chapel Church following the mud road -- probably a mile. Pass over narrow bridge. After this point, the road is maintained only by the farmer who now owns the property. (WVCPA volunteers noted that he is doing a great job keeping the farm clean and made a road to the cemetery for visitors.) After going through the second double red gates make a turn at this old abandoned house -- turn right and go up a very rough hill -- then turn right to the cemetery.
Condition of cemetery as observed on the given date - may not be representative of care at other times of the year Scale: Excellent - Good - Fair - Poor - Abandoned**

Comments:

Dates in Red are not inscribed on the tombstone and have either been calculated based on death date or are as a result of research on the individual.

This cemetery as many, many unmarked graves, the names for which that are listed above have come from the research of Violette Machir and published in "Mason County, W.Va. Cemetery Inscriptions - Vol. III" Names, spellings, dates and other information for such persons listed above have not been confirmed by WVCPA staff, relying instead upon the excellent research of Mrs. Machir so many years ago (1969 and earlier for this cemetery). If you are researching individuals in this cemetery, please confirm all information not verified by WVCPA through photographic evidence of inscriptions on existing tombstones with your own research.

According to the Mason County, W.Va. Cemetery Inscriptions book, this cemetery is located on the former Woodberry Edwards farm.

WVCPA volunteers visited this cemetery in late September 2007 and took a handful of photos, which will be placed on this page as they are prepared for web viewing. More photos and verification of research remains to be done for this cemetery, and volunteers for this effort are being sought. If you can help, please contact WVCPA by email at
