Wigal Cemetery, Wadesville, Wood Co., WV Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives May 12, 2003 by Teresa LeMaster Fordyce Take Rt 68 from Parkersburg, south through Lubeck. Turn left onto Wadesville Road, next to the Ohio Valley Motor Speedway. Follow Wadesville Road for about 4 1/2 miles. The sign for the cemetery is on the left side of the road. The concrete drive leads up the hill to the cemetery. (This cemetery is 1/2 mile past the Wadesville Cemetery). This is a family cemetery. It is still active.
