 PREFACE

The Historical Records Survey Project, as a part of a
Kationwide program, was instituted in Yest Virginia in April
1956. Operating as a part of the Works Progress Administra—
tion under the national direction of Dr. Luther H. Evans the
project remained a part of Federal Project Number 1 under
Federal sponsorship until September 1, 1939, when it became
a state project as a part of the Work Projects Administration.
From the latter date until September 1, 1940, the Test Vir—
ginia historical Lecords Survey was under the sponsorship of
the West Virginia Department of Education and since that time
the sponsorship has been lodged with the state Department of
Archives and History. On March 1, 1940, the national direc—
tion of the project was placed in the hands of Sargent 5.
Child, former regional director, suceeding Dr. Evans, who re—
signed to become Chief of the Legislative Reference Section
of the Library of Congress.

Although emphasis has been placed on the survey of coun—
ty, state, and church records, the West Virginia unit, be~
lieving that cemetery readings are a valuable part of our
state archives, began a survey of these records in ?ebruary,
1937. This work was started through the suggestion and in—
terest of hrs. Mary Wills Conaway, Karion County Librarian.

Through the interest of Mrs. Conaway the work was carried
out in her county and through her efforts various historical
organizations throughout the State have become interested in
the publication of the material collected by our workers.

The readings here presented are those for Fairmont and
Grant Districts in Marion County and is the second of the
harion series. The publication of this volume has been made
possible by a generous contribution of the Colonel Lorgan
morgan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The general poor condition of family cemeteries is much
to be deplored and the location of many of these small ceme—
teries is unknown. Wherever possible we have tried to give
at least the family name of persons interred in these neglect—
ed burial grounds.

No attempt has been made to group family names which vary
in spelling and it is suggested that the user check all possi~
blc variations of family names. The name of Conaway, a name
which appears frequently in Marion records, will also be found
as Conway, and Conoway. Other names carry similar variants.
Obvious errors are not always the fault of survey workers.
Stone cutters frequently make errors in the lettering of
stones and frequent errors are found in the compilation of
ages in years, months, and days. This last mentioned reading
is listed only when it appears on the stone. Stones lettered

 Preface

in foreign languages have also offered a problem. In the
listing of Holy Cross Cemetery (p. 45) it was necessary to
omit four stone readings because translation was impossible.

The first part of the volume is devoted to the descrip—
tion of individual cemeteries. The name and location is
given in the title line and is followed by a brief descrip-
tion of the cemetery. Locations indicated are based on the
road maps prepared and distributed by the Road Commission of
West Virginia, and by the names of the nearest postoffices.

At the end of the paragraph a notation indicates the pages on
which the readings are found, and on the same line, at the
extreme right of the page, is the date this cemetery was sur—
veyed. This will explain the absence from the list of stones
or mortician's markers which have been placed after the read—

' ing was made. Vital statistics shown on the stones are given
and any additional information which our workers have gather-

, ed from interviews or their own knowledge is indicated by
being enclosed in parenthesis. Readings are arranged alpha—
betically by family names under the title of each cemetery
which by number, is keyed to the description of the cemetery.
Ages in years, months and days are given only when found on

I the stone. The index has been prepared to family and ceme—
tery names only, with indication to the page on which these
names appear.

The initial work of the cemetery survey was done by
workers of the Marion County unit, under the contributed super-
vision of Mrs. Conaway. Workers have included Hrs. Ocie D.
Ice, the Project‘s local supervisor, Mrs. Olive D. Wilson, and
Everett Kennedy. Following the completion of the readincs,
the work was edited and arranged in the State office under the
Supervision of Hiss Myrtle Cooke. At the same time a card was
prepared on each individual stone reading. These cards are

‘ filed at the Department of Archives and History at the State
Capitol by family names, thus creating a State-wide name index
to cemetery readings. The final copy was returned to Marion
County to be checked for possible errors.

Appreciation is expressed to Mrs. Innis C. Davis, State
Archivist, and sponsor of the State project, for her valuable
cooperation. Particular appreciation for cooperation in our
undertaking is expressed to the officials of the Work Projects
Administration: Mr. Joseph N. Alderson, State Administrator;
Mrs. Irene F. Gillooly, State Director of Professional and
Service Projects; and Mr. Paul B. Shanks, State Supervisor of
Research and Records Subdivision, who have kindly given their
assistance at all times.

A list of completed publications of the West Virginia
5istorica1 Records Survey will be found on the last page of
this volume. Requests for information concerning any of these

 Preface

ical Records Survey, 210 Smallridge Building, Charleston, West
Virginia. Any comments, criticism or additions to the con-
tents of this volume will be appreciated and should be address—
