About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Irby Cemetery is located in Union Township, just inside Wayne County's northwest border with Cabell County. It sits about six miles south of the City of Huntington and one-half mile south of the community of Hodges. The cemetery sits atop the mountain ridge bordered by Camp Creek to the northwest and Right Fork Camp Creek to the southeast. This remote hilltop is also the setting for Owens Cemetery. From Owens Cemetery, continue south on the mountain path for about 200 yards. Just after the path bends to the right, Irby Cemetery will be in the trees on the right-hand side.

The cemetery appears to be the burial ground for the George W. Irby family. Although this cemetery contains only one marked grave, there appears to be other grave sites in close proximity marked with field stones. Local legend suggests that the additional graves at this site are ones of Confederate soldiers killed in a Civil War skirmish along this ridge-line as well as another for a servant of the Irby family.

Irby Cemetery sits on privately owned land. Permission must be requested before entering the property.
