ELLIOTT Cemetery, Adonijah, Clay County, West Virginia Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives February 25, 2002 by Neva Stout Bryant Copyright 2001, Neva Stout Bryant This information may be used for personal research but may NOT be copied to be sold or used in any commercial venture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recorded 26 June 1992 by Neva Jane STOUT BRYANT Description: The cemetery consists of a good acre of land and is publicly owned. No cemetery records exist, since it is strictly a rural cemetery. No one is in charge of the cemetery; in other words, there is no sexton. A dirt lane divides the cemetery into three distinct sections. There is a section to the left and above the lane; a section to the right and above the lane; and a section below the lane. I recorded the cemetery as follows: The section to the left and above the lane from left to right and top to bottom; the section to the right was recorded from left to right and top to bottom; and the section below the lane was recorded from left to right and top to bottom. Location: From State Route 16 turn left on Independence Hill (secondary road 10 -a narrow, paved road)and drive approximately 1-3/4 miles; turn left onto a one-lane, paved/dirt/gravel road and proceed approximately 1 mile; turn right and drive approximately .1 - .2 miles up a dirt lane (a 4-wheel drive vehicle is required for this part of the drive). I have added bracketed notes [ ] indicating birth, death, marriage, parents, or spouses when known since I have relatives still living in Adonijah who know or knew these people and some facts about them. ______________________________________________________________________________ Holmes EDWARD US ARMY SGT US MARINE CORPS WORLD WAR II KOREA May17 1929 - Feb 27 1992 Unreadable Fieldstone Bessie M.
