Ash Cemetery, 
Harrison County, West Virginia

The Ash Cemetery is an old cemetery which is difficult to find. Coming west out 
of Clarksburg, take Rt. 19 under he I-50 underpass. Turn left on County Highway #11 
and drive west. Turn right on the Bean Run Road at Wilsonburg.Take the Bean Run Road 
north past Howard Rd. (on the right). Just past Howard Rd. is a dirt road on the left 
whichwill take you to a cemetery. However, the Ash Cemetery is a little north and 
somewhat hidden in a grove of trees.The Ash Cemetery is not maintained and is near 
Gregory Run, the area homesteaded by Adam Ash in the late 1700's.
