The cemetery is located in a grove of trees on a small piece of property between Aaron Creek and the Kingwood Pike (Route 81.) The cemetery was established in 1845. When the listing for the Old Frum Cemetery was done on October 12, 1939, there were 20 marked graves and 5 or more unmarked. Upon visiting the cemetery, I have found a number of additional graves not mentioned in the book listing. The Old Frum Cemetery is in poor condition. A majority of the gravesights have been van dalized. Currently, family members are working to repair broken tombstones and clean up the cemetery.
