Is the cemetery on Mooney MT. Called Mooney Mt. Cemetery? I know it is in Raleigh Co. and Up Tommy Creek Hollow. Is there a list of garves and who would I contact to find out about them? Looking for Mitchem graves.

This one has me stumped...

I can find an obit from 2003 that mentions; burial will follow in Mooney Mountain Cemetery, Tommy Creek Hollow, Rhodell, but, I cannot find a listing for the cemetery. The obit also mentions Blue Ridge Funeral Home Chapel, Beckley. You may want to try and contact the funeral home, perhaps they can assist with the cemetery..

I searched on the Mitchem name in Raleigh county death certificates. There are a few that list Mooney Cemetery, Tommys Creek, Rhodell, as the burial location. There was also one that listed George W. Meadows Cemetery, Tommies Creek, Rhodell.

Not that it helps much, but it may be a place to start. The death certificates can be searched at http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/

I am certain the name of the cemetery has changed over the years. I have a great Uncle buried there. He was killed in the coal mines by a slate fall in 1932. His name was Lester Hart. His wife was Eva Hart. His mother was Cora Davis of Ashe County NC. I looked him up in the West Virginia cemetery list for Mooney Mountain Cemetery. His name was there with all info.
I have his obituary for 1932. It states he would be buried in the "Devils Fork Cemetery. Odd enough name for a cemetery huh?
Anyhow, this cemetery had a name change somewhere along the line. I doubt the newspaper at the time made that much of a mistake. Like I stated I have the original Obit.
Hope this helps someone somewhere. Thanks.

Hi Robert,
Are you still around. I am getting back to working on the Harts and was wondering if I could get a copy of the obituary for Lester Hart? Thanks!
