Located between Sigman Fork and
Sand Hill Road, Route 18/1, near Liberty. Going north turn left
off Rt. 34. Reportedly there is a route possible across the
McLane farm on the south side of Sand Hill, though WVCPA has not
seen this route personally to convey accurately its condition.
More information is needed.

Comments:
Dates in Red
are either calculated based on age at death and death date, or from further
research on the individual done by either WVCPA staff or family researchers.
This cemetery was last cataloged by Charles Ray Harper and Ron Roberts in
December 1983 for the Upper Vandalia Historical Society.
More recent research results provided by local
historians that regularly contribute to WVCPA has turned up that the correct
name of this cemetery is "Pitchford", not Pittsford, despite the
recorded names on the tombstones. Apparently this stems from a need that
developed between two "Pitchford" brothers who needed differing
spellings of their names to facilitate deliveries to their respective stores
many years ago. As more information regarding this becomes available, we will
provide more details as appropriate on this page.
Our thanks to all the family researchers who
have contributed additional background information on these individuals to
date, including Kathy Pence, Marieda Edens, and Elouise Harrison.
Updates on the reading of this cemetery, along
with additional photos, are needed for this cemetery - any volunteers?
