.......HERNDON Cemetery,
Montcalm, Mercer County, West Virginia
..............................................................................................
.......This cemetery, whose front faces the church building, is composed of
three distinct areas:
1) an open center and rear:
condition not too "bad",
having a lot of short under-growth;
2) a fenced "Lovern" family section:
on the right front corner-----
presently under control of Mother Nature,
and, earth beings,
that have used it as a dumping place
for brush and tree cuttings;
3) a fenced "Pigg" family section:
on the left front corner-----
this section, in 2001,
was cleaned "to the ground",
tombstones re-set and aligned,
graves filled(all have tombstones),
placement of flowers, and,
the total frontage area cleared about eight feet in width.
UPDATE: we cousins, listed below, cut our way into this location again,
this year, June 2003, and, sprayed a de-foliant chemical over the
entire grave site area, and, across the front entrance area.
