This blog will provide information about cemeteries and graveyards in both Monroe and Greenbrier Counties in West Virginia.

Our Mission

Our mission is to log locale's and photographs of as many graves and cemeteries as possible within Monroe and Greenbrier Counties.

We are a one-woman team, so progress may be slow, and will take place as weather permits. If you know of a cemetery or graveyard that you would like to see showcased here, please let us know.

  1. Is the Benjamin Green "Shannon" Wiseman, which you listed as father of Rufus, the same Benjamin Green Wiseman that m: Nancy Elizabeth Broyles 16 Jun 1883 in Monroe Co., WV?? I have had Rufus's parents listed as Shannon and Clara Kessinger Wiseman, but have been unable to find Shannon's parents.
