This is the largest cemetery in Morgan County and is located in Morgantown proper just off of St. Rd. 135.  The oldest section of the cemetery is right up front where there had been two huge beech trees.  Unfortunately, during a large storm this last spring, one of them fell.  Luckily, however, it missed hitting any of the graves.  We visited this cemetery on July 19, 2015.  Kinda funny that it took me this long to get around to visiting it since I used to live less than 5 miles from it for several years.
