[jcc]

Harold Kessel is the caretaker at the cemetary, phone number is 304-344-3294

The original cemetary was moved when they built the Turnpike. I assume that relatives had the choice as to where they wanted the graves to be moved. I don't know who was in charge of the moves, but there should be records somewhere.

I was at the old Marmet cemetary only once, when my father was buried there in 1952. The part where my Grandfather, Grandmother, and father were buried was, as I remember rather hilly, with a tree growing nearby.

As for the Reynolds Memorial. It was paid for by my Grandfather, in memory of his dead wife. My father helped to build it. It was across the street from my Grandfather's home across the main street.

Sorry I have not been of more help. John Reynolds
