U.S. Data Repository -- USGenNet Inc. -- Please read U.S. Data Repository Copyright Statement on this page: Stone Cemetery (sorted by name) February 2005 by Lisa L. Luther (charleywest@hotmail.com) Stone Cemetery Caretakers: Bill and Jean Newman 713 Flat Creek Road Alkol, WV Transcriber’s Note: The inscriptions listed here are as true as possible to the actual text on the headstones. All military markers will be noted with † beside the name. If I have estimated a birth date then I will denote it with cDOB (calculated date of birth). Directions: From the Alkol Post Office, turn on Bulger Road. Take your time and drive slowly - this road is narrow and curvy! A short distance from the post office the road will split – stay on the road going to the left, do not veer to the right up the hill. Follow along Bulger Road until you come to the old Martin Elementary School building on your right. Begin to slow down here. Make the 1st right onto Left Hand Fork/Bark Camp Branch (just beside the old school). Follow Left Hand Fork without making any turns (again I caution you to drive slowly), and you will be on a graveled dirt road that winds up a mountain. When you see the gas well on your left (near the top of the mountain) you are headed in the correct direction. Continue down the mountain and just a short piece after the road straightens you will see on your right a nice open area with a pretty brick home. This is the home of Bill and Jean Newman (the mailbox will read ‘713 Flat Creek Road’). The Stone Cemetery is on their personal property and is not visible from the road. The Newman’s are exceptionally friendly folks so please ask their permission before continuing on to the cemetery. ============================================================================================================= NAME BIRTH DEATH ============================================================================================================= =B= Breedlove, Carlena 09/14/1918 07/01/1919 *Breedlove, Harvy 1931 1932 =F= Ferrell, Bernard Lee 1912 1913 =R= *Ryan, Bacil 1917 1934 *Ryan, Bill 1923 1923 *Ryan, Hassell 1933 1934 *Ryan, Joe 1923 1923 *Ryan, Junior 1930 1930 Ryan, Lizzie B. 04/23/1864 11/07/1908 *Ryan, Mack 1928 1930 =S= Smoot, Gabriel S. 1818 1894 Stone, Chark W. 1884 1895 Stone, Jefferson 1861 1889 Stone, John A. 01/21/1841 08/29/1932 Stone, Mary “Polly” Hatfield 1816 1896 Stone, Maude 1882 1889 Stone, Roselie S. 10/21/1859 05/22/1925 *Stone, Samuel S. 1812 1890 Stone, Sara Evaline 1884 1895 ============================================================================================================= Stone Cemetery Notes: ============================================================================================================= =B= Breedlove, Harvy - One of several markers in the Stone Cemetery that is handwritten with backwards N’s. =R= Ryan, Bacil - One of several markers in the Stone Cemetery that is handwritten with backwards N’s.
