James Cemetary
Peach Tree Run
Normantown, Gilmer Co., WV

submitter: Lois Chadwell Cruz (lcruz@neumedia.net)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This cemetary is located in a hillside meadow on privately owned land 
(the home of the late Elder Charles L. James) on Peach Tree Run, Normantown, 
West Virginia. Driving directions: From US Rtes. 33/119 at Normantown, turn 
south on Gassaway Rd. After about 1 mile, at a little white church, follow 
the road straight ahead, rather than the one that curves to the right around 
the church. Approximately 1.5 miles further on, the road forks again. The 
gravel road to the left is Peach Tree run. The cemetary is reached by a dirt 
road that runs parallel to Peach Tree road, through a meadow and up the hill.  

I have listed the gravestones alphabetically, and any comments are contained 
in brackets.
