Martin Cemetery
Fayette County, West Virginia, USA
This cemetery is located on private property near New River Gorge National Park and Preserve land and is accessible rather easily by foot at a distance of approximately one half mile one way.
At this cemetery location there are three different cemeteries each being separated by a fence. According to the property owner the names of the other two cemeteries are Huggins Cemetery and Harrah Cemetery. Several death certificates and obituaries refer to these cemeteries as Garden Ground Cemetery. The Fayette County Cemetery Records Volume 1 published in May 2001 by the Fayette-Raleigh Genealogical Society names the collective whole of these three cemeteries as Morris Martin Cemetery. The Martin Cemetery is on the left of the larger and better maintained cemetery (Harrah Cemetery).

Travel Maple Meadows Hoo Hoo Road 2.1 miles to a gate on the right. This gate is just past a house and a trailer can be seen behind the gate. You will pick up a trail as you walk past the trailer.
