DIRECTIONS:

>From Mountain Creek Missionary Baptist church at Dunns, go west 
on Dunns Road 1.2 miles to Ellison Family Cemetery. Park there. 
Meador Cemetery is approximately 200 yards west of that point, 
walking down hill through a pasture,  and then up a hillside to a 
grove of trees.  In 1997, there is a power line that passes near 
the Ellison Cemetery, and ends near the Meador Cemetery.  At the 
end of that power line, walk uphill and toward the right 
approximately 200 feet. Cemetery is in a grove of trees on a
small knoll that juts out of the hillside. The Ellison Cemetery is 
also 3.6 miles East of WV 19 as it runs between Flat Top and Camp 
Creek.
