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.

Proud member of the Graveyard Rabbit Association.

Cemetery Catalogued


The weather cleared long enough yesterday for the Texichick and I to go to Glace and catalog the Hylton cemetery there. And it gave me a chance to give the Texichick a brief lesson on her great-grandparents, as well as her great-great-grandparents, who are buried there [her father's family].

Tomorrow I will begin putting those photos and catalogue into order and will begin posting them on this blog. So be watching for that!!!

The heat and humidity, however, took their toll on me. So, at least uuntil the worst part of the heat is past, we will probably not be going out again soon! But rather, we will wait for the cooler days of autumn before we get into further cataloging, unless the weather changes drastically! So I ask that you bear with us as we stay inside and stay cool, at least through the worst of this heat!

More Wet Stuff


This afternoon I get the car. But guess what?

More of the wet stuff is being called for!!!

The Texichick is off from work Wednesday and Thursday. I DO have a doctor's appointment on Thursday morning, but it looks promising that one of the two days will be clear enough that we can do a little cemetery spelunking!

Dear old Mountain Daddy and I were talking on Sunday how we would buy back our old homestead if we won the lottery and properly fence and clean up the old family cemetery. [Current owners allow us access to it, but refuse to allow us to fence it or clean up the overgrown trees that have literally grown through graves!] They did allow us to place a marker in the center of the cemetery commemorating my great-great-grandparents who are buried there. [They want the area left alone for the wildlife, as they are big hunters and go for the big game that tramples through the area.]

I would wager a bet that not many people daydream of spending lottery winnings so "elaborately"! [tee-hee]

Ah, yes! Such huge aspirations! A fence around the old cemetery!!!

For now, I'll settle for a day without showers so that I can go do a little cemetery hunting!

Hopefully between Wednesday and Thursday we will find at least one day suitable for the hunt! [Keep your fingers crossed!!!]

Waiting For The Deluge To End!


If you've been watching the national news, you will know that we have been having an extremely wet spring and early summer in my neck of the woods!

Couple that with my daughter is using my car to go back and forth to work, while she is saving to purchase her own car, and I am often left without transportation at present. So when the weather does permit graveyard hunting, I am without wheels. And when I do have my car? It is pouring down rain!!!

However, I did want everyone to know that I will be doing my absolute best to get out in the next week and do a hunting!!!  Surely the skies will clear during this next week so that I can get at least one small cemetery covered!!!

Please be patient with me, and know that I have not forsaken the Graveyard Rabbit's! I've just been "under the weather", and praying that will all change soon!

Happy Graveyard Hunting!
