 (Parenthesis added by transcriber for clarification)

Located on top of a ridge off of Kaufman Branch Road, off Coopers Creek Road,
on the county road between Coopers Creek and Lick Branch, in the Big Chimney
area of Charleston, WV. The cemetery is situated about 1/4 mile off the county
road, on an old jeep trail. The cemetery is fenced and is extremely overgrown.
Only 9 markers were visible. A large tree has fallen into the cemetery and
could possibly be covering one or more markers. One large marker(~5' high)
and the rest are typical limestone tombstones.
