Make a left. Church and cemetery are not far after you pass Kanawha Run Road and is on the left hand side of Alexander Road. Turn left on gravel road and the cemetery is up beside the Church. The cemetery is well kept up and most stones are fairly new looking. Only a few were so old, you had to get on hands and knees to view them. Please take this as only a stepping stone to find your ancestors. I do my best but I'm not always right.
