SIZEMORE CEMETERY, Adonijah, Clay County, West Virginia
Contributed by Neva Stout Bryant nevajb@aol.com (copyright permission received from Neva, 3/18/2002) Recorded October 1998 by Neva Jane STOUT BRYANT; Copyright Neva Jane STOUT BRYANT 2001 (this information may be used for personal research but may not be copied to be sold or used in any commercial venture)
Description: The cemetery consists of 3 acres of land, approx- imately 1/4 of which has been cleared and is in use. No cemetery records exist. No one is in charge of the cemetery, so no records exist and there is no sexton. I recorded the cemetery as follows: beginning at the left front and recording a row, then coming back to begin at the 2nd row at the front, and continuing in that manner until completed. Location: From State Route 16 turn left up Independence Hill (secondary road 10 - a narrow, paved road). Drive approximately 2.5 miles, take right fork then take another right past the Laurel Fork Baptist Church and parking lot. Go approximately .01 miles to fork (Old Sheridan SIZEMORE residence); take the right fork and go .6 miles, keeping on the right road. Go another .1 mile and turn right; cemetery is straight ahead. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for the remainder of the trip past the Old Sheridan SIZEMORE residence.
