Raone County, West Virginia Miles H. RHODES Cemetery, Higby, WV Evelyn Rhodes Smith TRSERS@aol.com MILES H. RHODES CEMETARY, Higby, Roane County, W.Va. Submitted by Evelyn Rhodes Smith, 215 Baker Lane, Charleston, WV 25302 This cemetery is located on "Freeman Cox" farm in Roane County, about 3 miles east of Harmony on Roane Co. Route 15. From I-77, take the Kenna exit and turn toward Harmony. Travel Rt. 19 through Kentuck, into Roane County. The Rt. number changes at the county border, to Roane Co. Rt. 15. It is approximately 10 miles from the Interstate to the Cox's farm. On the right, across the road from the entrance to Cox's farm is the small white wooden Vicars Ridge Church. Sherman Parsons lives in red brick home adjacent to the church. The Parsons can direct you to the cemetery if necessary. Turn left toward the Cox house, continue on level driveway. On left is Freeman Cox house, on right is a double-wide trailer. Pass between the two homes. Keep going through Pasture, following the row of trees on right, until you pass a red gate. The cemetery is the next turn right. It is very primitive, no actual road once you pass Freeman property, just pasture. Cemetery is about 100 feet back from mowed pasture. There is a sign at the entrance of the cemetery. Buried in the Miles H. Rhodes Cemetery are: Boothe,Charles d. 1874 Cobb,Cecil d. 1915 Cobb,Ella, his wife d. 1902 Cobb,Elsie d. 1924 Cobb,J.

We assume these are the Moore family who perished in the flu epidemic during the early 1900's. We would appreciate it if anyone can supply any information on the Moores or others buried there.
