This cemetery has been around since at least 1871, as it is referred to then in a deed between Jacob Marcum and Aaron Brewer. In this deed, Jacob Marcum sold a tract of land to Aaron Brewer, being the same land Isaac Brewer, Sr. sold to Jacob Marcum. It mentions 1/4 acre set aside for the grave yard (Logan County, WV, Deed Book B, page 484). Presently, the oldest headstone found here is for Nancy Mitchel, with the death date of 1879, although Nora (Spaulding) Meade told us of a stone she remembers dating back to 1851 for Amanda Marcum that was done away with. There are many graves here that are unmarked that have been dug into while digging other graves. Thomas Ray Fitzpatrick and Bryant Spaulding made the road going up the hill in the early 1970s. Prior to this, there was a path leading straight up the hill to near where the shelter is located. This cemetery is located just below the Forks of Marrowbone Creek. There is a sign on the right side of the road which says FITZPATRICK CEMETERY. The cemetery is located across the creek up on the hill. Follow the dirt/gravel path on the left which leads up the hill to the cemetery.
