Luther (charleywest@hotmail.com) Midkiff Cemetery Caretaker: Midkiff Cemetery Committee PO Box 10175 Charleston, WV 25375 Transcriber’s Note: The inscriptions listed here abbreviated versions of the actual text on the headstones. All military markers will be noted with ( beside the name. William H. Swango and Maxine May Swango compiled the original lists of graves on April 8, 1980. Notes at the end of this list are either my own, or those of the Swango’s. Directions: At the Sod Post stop sign, make a right onto 214. Follow this main road and it will lead directly into Sumerco. The cemetery will be on your left. If you see a sign that says “Laurel Fork” or “Summit Ridge” then you have gone too far by just a couple hundred feet. Simply turn around and drive slowly to locate the Midkiff Cemetery sign. ================================================================================================================ NAME BIRTH DEATH INSCRIPTION ================================================================================================================ Adams, Anna 1907 1940 .
