Make a left and go all the way to Etna. Turn left on dirt road [which has no name], going toward Alexander, about 100 yards. Turn left onto a "rock base road" [ a not paved road]. You'll see a sign, a small one, that says "Marple Chapel". This road is a rough way. The church is no longer used but in good condition. The cemetery is well kept up. The stones are very readable but please take this as only a stepping stone to find your ancestors. I do my best but I'm not always right. We've put these stones in order by name, not by placement. Sincerely, Tina McKie- Simons Marple Chapel Cemetery. Marple Chapel M. E. Church, founded 1899. Alexander, Upshur Co., WV CARPENTER: Mildred 1929-1984 Gerald O. 1930 - [still living?] E. E.
