Spencer Memorial Cemetary
Tombstone Photos
The following tombstone photos
were submitted by Ted McMullen. All of these Greathouse tombstones
are
located in the Spencer
Memorial Cemetary, Spencer, WV. This cemetary is of special interest because
the land for the cemetary was donated to the county by John Greathouse
Sr. and Sarah McDade Greathouse on May 25, 1857. Ted also included a
copy of the
deed showing this transfer of land to Roane County, VA now WV. Ted states
that he can not identify most of these graves.
If any Greathouse
Cousin can provide more information on any of these grave markers
please
contact Ted
McMullen and Greathouse
Point with
your information.
Please
be patient, this page may require more time to load.

A note from Ted: "You
will note that their gravestones have their names spelled
GRATEHOUSE. I don't understand the reason for this, in
every other document,
censuses, deeds etc. the names are spelled correctly. The
only other place I have seen it spelled this way is on
their Marriage
Bond which was filed in Mason County, September17, 1806.
This bond was handwritten by a person who apparently
was not very
literate as he spelled Sarah's surname, Mickdade and in
another place Micdade."
