ADKINS/EDDS CEMETERY, Monroe Co., WV Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by Vicki L Mill-Wykle and Gwen L Wykle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DIRECTIONS: In Alderson, WV turn across bridge and at the end of the bridge take a left onto Rt 3 east. Follow Rt 3 to sharp right turn in town of Alderson. After making sharp right you will pass Lobbans Funeral Home on left. Shortly after you pass the funeral home look for sign on right hand side of road that says Flat Mtn Rd. Turn left onto Flat Mtn Rd - follow this road for approx. 1-9/10 of a mile to a fork in the road - take the right fork. Follow this road approx. 2-2/10 of a mile to a white house on the left that has a small gravel road that cuts down beside of it. Just a little past this house is Mt View Baptist Church on the left side of the road. If you get to the church then you've gone too far. It would be easier to actually find the church and turn around there and go back to houses on right. This road is very easily missed. The road is in good shape except for the speed bump (Ha! Ha!) at the beginning of the road. You can still get a low car in here if you are careful. Just take your time going over the bump. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name; birth date; death date; notes/inscriptions Sarah Adkins; 1857; 1940; on stone with Jacob Adkins - At Rest Jacob Adkins; 1841; 1939; on stone with Sarah Adkins - At Rest Teel Owen Adkins; June 14, 1899; August 23, 1947 Edward Myles Adkins; Nov 30, 1894; Aug 30, 1971; WV Sgt US Army WWI Wilber Jesse Adkins; July 21, 1886; May 6, 1972 Seldon R Adkins; May 7, 1883; July 21, 1973; on stone with Maude B Adkins Maude B Adkins; May 29, 1892; Dec 7, 1975; on stone with Seldon R Adkins Noel W Adkins; Apr 5, 1907; Nov 27, 1952; WV Pvt Co C 29 MED TNG BN Harvey M Adkins; Apr 21, 1875; Dec 16, 1962; middle name: McClung Bobby (Robert) D Adkins Jr; June 12, 1971; April 19, 1973 Guy R Edds; 1924; NDD; on stone with Joanna R Edds Joanna R Edds; 1925; 2000; on stone with Guy R Edds - Joanna Rayburn Boggs Edds - 1925-2000 - metal marker-"EDDS" Herbert E Thompson; 1938; 1964 "Mother" Minnie K Thompson; 1919; 1970; on stone with E Halford Thompson - IN LOVING MEMORY "Father" E Halford Thompson; 1912; 1978; on stone with Minnie K Thompson - "THOMPSON" "Mother" Marcella Carter; 1940; NDD; "SMITH" "Father" Yellies Edward; 1939; 1995; "SMITH" "FATHER" Rev Robert W Farren; May 26, 1880; June 20, 1955 Pearl E Carter; Jan 16, 1916; July 30, 1978; on stone with Ike Carter "CARTER" Ike Carter; Oct 18, 1913; Dec 2, 1992; on stone with Pearl E Carter - "CARTER" Ambrose Ayers; Nov 8, 1867; April 20, 1951 William K Ayers; 1952; 1973 Sallie Aycock Ayers; Aug 21, 1905; Oct 19, 1985; "MOTHER" Minnie Ellen Terry; 1887; 1985; metal marker Glenden Edgar Terry; 1935; 1997; metal marker Noah E Simms; Oct 19, 1970; Nov 30, 1994; on stone with Edwina B Simms - "SIMMS" - "Beyond the Sunset" Edwina B Simms; Mar 24, 1964; NDD; on stone with Noah E Simms Harold Lee Bennett; 1942; 1954; "Our Darling" Jewel E Bennett; 1912; 1956; on stone with James L Bennett - "BENNETT" - "Asleep in Jesus" James L Bennett; 1899; 1960; on stone with Jewel E Bennett "Father" James A Whitt; 1910; 1996; on stone with Gloria N Whitt - "WHITT" Gloria N Whitt; 1929; 1998; on stone with James A Whitt Cheryl Elaine Smith; Aug 25, 1964; Jan 21, 1965; "Our Darling Daughter" Omer L Edds; Jan 30, 1922; July 2, 1982; "Father" James W R Edds; Aug 17, 1910; Sept 23, 1994; "Have Faith In God" "Doc" Audrey Lewis Edds; 1918; 2002; in lot to itself - metal marker Captions that are in parenthesis are written on the stone.
