Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to get to Emery Cemetery? When I tried to find it in 1998, I could not find a road that led to it - everything route I tried was blocked by coal mining. I would like to get back for another try this summer and would appreciate it if anyone knows of a road that is accessible. According to the list of burials for that cemetery which I found at the library in McConnelsville, Sidney (McCoy) Counsel) is buried there. She was born c. 1795 and died 30 March 1870. I presume her husband, William Counsel, is also buried there, though I did not find him on the list. He probably died before 1850 as he is not on that year's census. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Larry Dickerson
