Chandler Arthur Cemetery
Route 16
Beckwith, WV


Notes:

1) Cemetery transcription submitted by Carol Edds Owen (carol60@mindspring.com)

2) This file is part of the WVGenWeb Archives.

3) Submitter's Comments:

The names listed are from a map drawn by my mother in 1920 on instructions by her grandfather James William Arthur, who along with his father Alexander Arthur (Chandler Arthur's son) buried almost everybody in the cemetery. So I feel everything is correct including the graves marked with just fieldstones. Geraldine Workman (the society also surveyed the cemetery) thinks there are a few unmarked graves there also but the map doesn't indicate it (??)

4) The cemetery is located at bottom of large hill on left, surrounded by chain link fence.
