Mount Olive Cemetery
Also known as Border Cemetery , Goose Haven Cemetery
Kodol, Wetzel County, West Virginia, USA
Mount Olive Cemetery (nicknamed Goose Heaven by locals, is located on a ridge above Kodol. Access is limited to ATVs, 4 wheel drive vehicles, horseback or hiking. From Rt 7, take Brookover Rd to Kodol Rd, turn right at log building, proceed up the steep grade, bearing left at the two Y intersections. The cemetery is being kept up by Bill Utt, descendant, and others who have family buried there. The most recent burial is 1995.
There were many families living on this ridge who wanted a church on the ridge, as it was sometimes difficult to get to the churches in the hollow. Land was donated by a local man to build a church and cemetery, with the condition that the families living on the ridge, and their descendants might be buried there at no cost for the grave site. Families moved away, the church was standing idle and was torn down, but the cemetery is still used.
