Pem Lowe Cemetery on South Charles Fork Road, Roane Co WV Contributed originally December, 2002 - updated February, 2004 by Michael DF Flowe for the USGenWeb Archives In this transcript below I have added the names & dates when missing. Original information is from a listing of the Pem Lowe Cemetery from Evelyn Fisher’s (Scott Depot, WV) Roane County Cemeteries Book, 1997 , and the RCHS Cemeteries Book Vol #3. An incorrect cemetery name is listed on Charles Fork Road in Roane County as "Burke Cemetery" when it is actually called the Pem Lowe Cemetery, or Lowe Cemetery of Charles Fork Road. It's not the Burke Cemetery. Peter Burke who is buried in the cemetery was the neighbor and good friend of the land owners of which the cemetery is located. Peter Burke was a carpenter who made Levi Clark Lowe’s black walnut casket, and was a pallbearer for his burial in that cemetery. The farm land was once owned by Levi Clark Lowe, then Morris Pembroke("Pem") Lowe his son. The Pem Lowe cemetery was established with the county in 1840 as a family burial ground and is located SW of Spencer on South Charles Fork Road. Information was recorded on Sept 21, 1938 by the WPA. Informant was a Mrs M P Lowe of Spencer. It has 12 unmarked graves, and 26 marked graves. All the graves in the cemetery are a relation to Levi Clark Lowe. Thank you for taking the time to look. Please contact and let me know if there are any errors that need corrected.
