Williamstown Cemetery, Williamstown, Wood Co, WV Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives June 11, 2003 by Teresa LeMaster Fordyce Take Williamstown exit off of I-77. Take Rt 14 south for 1/2 mile. Cemetery is on the right side of the road just inside the city limits of Williamstown. This is a community cemetery and is well maintained. It has not been used much in recent years. Many of the stones are very weather worn and difficult to read. Several stones are broken and/or have fallen over. Complete accuracy of this transcription cannot be guaranteed, please verify with other sources. I walked and transcribed this cemetery on June 11, 2003. McTaggart, Bernard; b. Jun 19, 1880, d.
