It does not contain the names of living persons with headstones in place at the cemetery. I have photographed all engraved headstones, and will scan/e-mail copies upon request. There are also a number of "unmarked" graves (graves marked only with rough stones) in this cemetery as well. Their names are unknown tome at this time and thus are not included in this list either. Directions: This small cemetery can be reached from Buckhannon, WV by driving abt. 14 miles south on WV-20. Then make a slight left at the fork near Rock Cave onto WV-20/Kanawha Head Buckhannon. Take this road about 3 miles till you get to Laurel Run Ganes Craddock/ CR-40. Turn left onto Drive Laurel Run Ganes Craddock/CR-40, taking it not quite 6 miles up to the Canaan Church cemetery, then continue on till you get to a fork in the road where the "Church of the Brethern" sits in Goshen. The cemetery is located just down the road a bit from the church, taking the right fork. The last three miles to Goshen is a one lane graveled road. This is a fairly steep and isolated local, get your gas and drinks before you start up Laurel Run Ganes Craddock/CR-40 and make sure your vehicle is in good repair. Headstone transcripts are listed in alphabetical order and not according to their placement in the cemetery. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baxa, Donald Forrest, Sept. 24, 1946 ~ Sept. 27, 1946 Bender, Paul Earnest, Apr.8, 1925 ~ Mar. 8, 2000 Bender, Clara J.
