    1. Re: [WVCABELL] Huntington Cemetery
    2. You are correct Kathleen. It only means they were buried in Huntington. You'll have to dig deeper to find out the exact cemetery where Isabella is buried. Still you may not find it because she may be buried in an unmarked grave in some small cemetery and the location possibly forgotten. I looked up the death certificate and noticed Isabella was born in Wayne County. She was single and died of TB. These might hold some small clues to where she was buried. I already looked in the Woodmere book by Kyowva and did not see her name listed. Next, I would suggest emailing or calling Spring Hill Cemetery. You can find their web site by doing a google search for Huntington Greater Parks Spring Hill. I am kinda surprised that this woman would be buried in Huntington since she was born in Wayne County and was single. In that time era, most people who died of TB were patients at the State Hospital. The majority of those were then took across the street to be buried in Spring Hill. Check out the most likely places first and work toward the smaller cemeteries. You could also try finding the death record of a sibling to find their burial place and then looking there for Isabella. Don't forget you can also order an obit from the library and perhaps a cemetery name will be listed there.

And I had a question regarding a cemetery. Some of the people have the name of the cemetery as Huntington. Since there is not a cemetery named Huntington....I believe this means they were buried in Huntington, but how do I find out where in Huntington? An example of a person is Isabella Newman, she died on April 20, 1933. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Kathleen
