Burke Mountain Cemetery McDowell Co. WV Contributed by: Sadie Pennington McDaniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This reading was taken with my second cousin, Roby Church. He knew who was buried where and some of the fieldstones. I hope it will prove helpful. We started at the gate and worked to the back on the lower side (left) of the cemetery and then from the top down on the hill (right side).
