Sturgill Cemeter McDowell County WV Contributor: Phyllis A. Coburn Griffith DIRECTIONS: This cemetery may be reached from the Big Creek road or from the Gary side. The Gary side is much easier. 1. From Gary go south on Rt. 13 to Ream. At Ream turn right from Rt. 13 onto Rt. 13/2, go about 4.5 miles and turn right onto a rough dirt road. Go about .7 miles on this road to a 3-way intersection. Take the middle road about 200 yards to the cemetery. 2. Between Rift and Cucumber on Rt. 16, turn onto Big Creek Road (Rt. 12/5). Go about 2.9 miles on 12/5 to where 12/5 goes up Mountain Fork. Turn right onto 13/2 (Big Creek). Go about 4.6 miles on 13/2 (to the top of the hill). At the top of the hill, turn left onto a rough dirt road. Go about .7 miles to a 3 way intersection. Take the middle road about 200 yards to the cemetery. Several of the stones on this cemetery were made in a similar manner. They only have names on them. There are several unmarked field stones on this cemetery. (Graves 1, 2, and 3 have been moved here from another location-- probably about 1994--because of surface mining.)
