This cemetery is located on New Martinsville Ridge. Turn right at the top of Whiteman Hill and go out the ridge for about five miles. It is in the rear of Mt. Zion Church of Christ. The cemetery is on the hill behind and above the church and is a steep climb. It is not seen from the church nor the road. There is an old road leading to it. It is fenced and well cared for.

s/o Aaron & Rebecca Hafer Yost |
In days gone by this church was refered to as "Snuff Chapel" and it is said
the name started because the men would peck on their snuff boxes during the
services. It is a custom of men to tap the box gently to loosen the
snuff before opening it to "take a rub". This tapping makes a little
peck sound on the tin can.
** Renzo and Bertha had a
son, Clarence, who was born premature in Harrison County,W.Va Jan 31,1916, I
think maybe, he is buried here also.
