Little Laurel Missionary Baptist
Church Cemetery Hanford Fork Road, Clay County, WV |
This cemetery is home to my Frame and
Fitzwater ancestors and many of their friends. The cemetery is located
behind the church. As I was recording the residents, I didn't notice for
a while that there was more cemetery in the woods at the top of the hill.
Both sections are very nicely maintained.
Residents of the lower area behind the church:

They say my life is through for to society I'm not true,
but if I have to be phoney to live in this world that I do,
I'd rather live the life of a hells angel and to myself be true.
